CURIOSITY AND DISRUPTION
During the spring, Thomas was creating the new performance for children age 6 months – 5 years and their adults called Hvad er det? (What is That?) based on the immanent curiosity of the child. Curiosity as a driver for grasping and sensing life in all aspects.

FACING THE CHANGE
What has the pandemic meant for the live arts, traditionally conceived as a living means of communication? What do we do with a discipline that requires presence and live performance? How can we change from passive victims to active agents capable of reshaping the arts? How can we overcome the fear of loss and turn our current challenges to new quality opportunities for the arts?

ART, FAMILY AND CONFINEMENT
Confinement is the nature of prison life. A state we can now remotely relate to because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

CULTURAL HEALTH
In 2018, the former French Minister of Culture, Françoise Nyssen, publicly suggested that arts and culture be integrated into French ministerial policy. She then commissioned psychologist and psychoanalyst Sophie Marinopoulos to report on the artistic and cultural awakening of children and young people in France. In her report, Marinopoulos warned about a worrisome ‘cultural malnutrition’ by French children and proposed 66 measures to fight it back. She addressed the following goals: to promote a cultural awakening and artistic education among 0 to 3-year-olds, to defend equal opportunities for boys and girls, to fight against any form of violence and to safeguard the psycho-emotional development of children.
