Kloden applied for operating funds from the Municipality of Oslo, and today, when the budget was presented, we see that the city council is proposing that Kloden gets 1 million in operating funds. Very fun!
They say, among other things, this about Kloden :
Kloden is planned as a programming stage house with children and young people as the core audience in Oslo. The goal is to establish a stage where the young audience can experience varied performing arts of high quality, with workshops where the young people can develop artistically based on their own background, interests and talent. The initiative can be seen in the context of the Oslo municipality's increased focus on culture for children and young people, where a new strategy for children's theater (performing arts for children and young people) is a central element.
