<h3>Film: An Urban Moves Oslo - short film project
 </h3>
A kaleidoscope works by reflecting light, and as you turn the tube, you will see patterns of colors in an everchanging and collaborative performance. A dance. Regardless of what angle that you see the world through, or what part you play on this stage, we hope this video brings you warmth and feelings of belonging. This vibe represents the urban movement of the city - welcome to Urban Moves Oslo 2021.

<h3>Performance: The Hustle </h3>
Life is like the suit that you inherited from a grandparent. An attire to grow into, a goal and a noble aspiration, as if this path was custom-made for you. But what if the suit you inherited is not tailored to fit you? Will you throw it away or will you make the most of it? 
The Hustle is a dance performance about the patches and stitching of a suit well-lived.

<h3>Performance: UHURU</h3>
Uhuru means freedom in Kiswahili, which is spoken in East and South Africa. Freedom is a topic all people can relate to. Man is often in conflict with himself and others, and finds himself in situations where choices must be made that are perceived as right for the individual. UHURU is a journey to freedom with a focus on independence, honesty and strength to inspire the individual's everyday life.

<h2>UMO Salon </h2>
Date: Saturday 19 June 2021 Time: 13:00-14:30 Place: Studio Stage, Dansens Hus Price: Free, but signing up is needed.
The Urban Moves Oslo Salon is a collaborative conversation focused on important topics within the Hip-Hop community with experts in the diverse fields. 

The topic of 2021 How to get access to funds, resources and support as an artist rooted in the Norwegian Hip-hop dance community? The goal is to clarify the process from idea to realization, how to get your project on stage, further touring and the «after life» of an intellectual property. What are the common criteria and pitfalls, written and unwritten? 
The conversation is led by the festival curator Huyen Brown and Kirre Arneberg, who is the project manager for Urban Moves Oslo at Dansens Hus and a longtime career dancer, teacher and producer in the independent field. For this topic we have invited Kristine Karåla Øren, union leader of Norske Dansekunstnere, Belinda Braza from the Arts Council Norway, Kira Senkpiel, producer at Bærum Kulturhus and founder of Re(Form).
