Janne Eraker
Welcome to my website!
Lots has been going on. SWDC had another round of performances of 100 Passions, ending with a grand opening of the Kurt Weill Fest in Dessau, with a cheering audience of more that 1100 people. The other big event lately was Jazzprisen, where I had the honor of performing with the incredible Juliana Venter. Sometimes the excitement is almost too much! At the moment I'm preparing to show Tap Noir at Dansens Hus in Oslo on April 25, 26 and 27! It's a heavy piece to dance, and not suitable for kids (little bit too scary) or people who can't handle strobes. But it's also great fun and a crazy, immersive, one-of-a-kind experience. Hope to see you there! Next to that, my electronic duo Øy is preparing for some concerts in Oslo and Rosendal. Also, the new, big dance work Soft Ice is in the pipelines. Rehearsals start in May, and the premiere will be in January 2026. Can't wait to share some of that with you! |

The tap dance album Movements for Listening is a wild exploration of sound with borderless worlds of music, widening the horizon and moving outside of all boxes. Janne Eraker has a group of stellar musicians with her on this project: Knut Reiersrud, Ivar Grydeland, Michaela Antalová, Harald Fetveit, Anders Kregnes Hansen, Hans Martin Rundberg Austestad, Juliana Venter, David Arthur Skinner, Roger Arntzen, Vegar Vårdal and Kristoffer Lislegaard.
