CENTRE FOR FOLK
CULTURE
SKÆLSKØR
The Centre for Folk Culture is an association, whose purpose is to
collect, register and promote different facets of Danish folk culture,
especially song, music, dance, singing games, stories and reminiscences.
It is a rich tradition, and one of the centre’s aims is to help to open
eyes and ears to the living culture of ordinary people.
Cenfo is supported by
Slagelse council.

What
do we do? Promotion of the musical folk culture is an important part of Cenfo’s
work – drawing attention to the fact that there is living material all
around us, and that there are dusty archives full of stuff waiting to be
brought out and built upon. We teach both themes and methods. We sing, play, dance and tell stories.
We create a space where the people who are the folk culture can find a
voice. We produce radio programmes, CDs, written articles. We arrange
exchanges with people from other cultural circles and participate in
productions of theatre and dance. |
This consists for the time being in individual projects. The results can be seen
in small pamphlets, mostly intended for family use.
But something usually spills over to a newspaper or periodical along the
way
