Nordic Release: Dramapodden
In the format of a podcast episode, Ruth Hol Mjanger (Professor at NLA University College) and Stine Nielsen Ellinggard (Associate Professor at OsloMet) will lead the Nordic launch of the Norwegian-produced ‘Dramapodden’. The initiative is the main activity in the project Drama and Theatre in Primary School and Teacher Education, which was initiated in spring 2025 following a matter raised in the National Academic Council for Drama and Theatre Studies in Norway. With the podcast, we aspire to be a scholarly voice that showcases the diversity of practices in drama and theatre in education, highlights the potential to contribute to education pathways, and motivates the field to continue its efforts. In this way, the new initiative addresses all the conference themes.

In the release, Mjanger and Ellinggard, the project lead and deputy lead, will invite guests into the “studio” to present the purpose of the podcast and content from the first episodes. The guests are primarily members of the project’s steering group. Perhaps there will also be a surprise guest? In addition to the lead and deputy lead, the steering group consists of Erle Slagsvold (NLA), Marte Liset (UiT), Marianne Nødtvedt Knudsen (UiS), Linn Terese Bern (INN), Dorthe Gunnhildsdatter Hagen (INN), Mette Bøe Lyngstad (HVL), Wenche Torrissen (NORD, KKS), and Kari Strand (DTP). The presentation will take place in a mix of Norwegian and English.
