Through a magical, educational and interactive experience, “Havfruenes Verden ( The World of the Mermaids) intends to take children on a journey through the challenges, joys and mysteries of the sea and merpeople in it. Through dance, singing, theater and water play, I want to engage the children in how we can take care of the marine environment, while at the same time giving them an unforgettable bathing experience.

Pre-project week August 24.

Together with mermaids Katrine (Nemone) and Gina (Koral) from northern Norway, we created a magical weekend 16-18 in Verdal.

Through an interactive workshop and performance at Verdal Svømmehall, we invited children into our enchanting mermaid world. The experience included storytelling, siren singing with the kids, a mini performance, and of course, swimming and exploring the water together.

A heartfelt thank you to the parents, children, and my mermaid team for making this weekend unforgettable 💙. A special thanks to Verdal Svømmehall for providing the performance space, Verdal Kulturskole for letting my drop by hen I need 👌🏻👏🏻 and to iVerdal for the wonderful article 🩵.

This weekend gave us valuable insights into what different age groups enjoy and need, inspiring new ideas for the future. I’m already looking forward to next time and diving even deeper into the possibilities this can offer. 😊

Note: A video from the weekend is available upon request. It will primarily be used for  further application purposes.

Pre-project/gigg May 23: The Little Mermaid .

Together with child librarian, cosplayer, and fellow mermaid Karen Birgitte, we hosted a special event in our hometown, Verdal, in collaboration with the local cinema. This was organized to celebrate the premiere of Disney’s live-action version of The Little Mermaid.

Dressed as mermaids, we engaged with the children by taking photos with us, sharing a new mermaid story, drawing water creatures together, and dancing and moving with them before the movie 🙂
