​
A brief history of SIB Dance Lab
​
The SIB Dance Lab Project began in 2009, when local dance practitioner Annette Brandanger drew on her network from her student years to create a laboratory for movement in her hometown of Hamar. Joining her was fellow Laban graduate Gyda Eide and key sponsor was Hilde Gullhav who provided free studio space to kick start the project.
SIB stands for ‘Skisser i bevegelse’, which translates to ‘Sketches in Movement’. The project aims to provide a space where movement can be explored, developed, created, and reimagined—a meeting point where dance practitioners can connect, share experiences, and thrive
​
In 2013, SIB was established as an organisation.

SIB’s main activity is running the SIB Dance Lab each summer, along with weekend workshops, training, and choreography production.​ In 2018, SIB collaborated to strengthen dance in Hedmark, leading to the creation of DansINN in 2019. Now, DansINN serves as an umbrella for local dance activities.
