Welcome!
Tone Myklebust (b. 1970) lives in Egersund, the neighboring town of Sokndal. She has a background in education and management, but has worked more or less full-time with writing since her writing studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Tromsø. Myklebust has published three books to date: the fairytale book Gutten med Trollpikken (2017, Dreyer Bok), the short story collection Det stoppar ikkje her (2020, Cappelen Damm) and the short story collection Rutine ved varsling (2023, Cappelen Damm).
She is currently working on a novel project with the working title Den kvite dagen. Myklebust is particularly concerned with the fragile and broken nature of human life and with the idea that literature - and art in general - should be a place that can accommodate and make visible what we otherwise try to hide.
Hanna A. Lokøy (b. 2001, Stavanger) is a dancer and choreographer and lives in Copenhagen, where she recently graduated from the Danish School of Performing Arts.
About her residency at Velferden in the winter of 2025, Hanna writes: “The residency will encourage me to continue exploring my practice of crying, dramaturgy and the friction between them. I want to further develop my artistic interest in emotional movement, as well as explore new and relevant aspects of this through texts and choreography. I see this residency as an opportunity to research and let the practice unfold, while actively working with other relevant movement qualities such as shaking, stumbling, holding and collapsing. I want to investigate how this can be structured with dramaturgical tools and documented for future work.”
Adelina Allberg (b. 1999, Sweden) works with the collection of residual materials, whose properties are transformed and explored through recontextualization. She is interested in how industry seeps into ecology, and vice versa, and how this can be represented through material storytelling. She holds a bachelor's degree from the Trondheim Academy of Fine Arts (2024), lives and works in the countryside of Småland, and has participated in several exhibitions in Sweden and Norway.
