About us, the place and Bygland

The organizers are

Olav Grendstad (60) – Runs the culture and tourist café Stoga, and has been a freelancer in revue and performing arts for nearly 30 years.

Tuva Grendstad Takvam (24) – Has a bachelor’s degree in drama and theater communication from OsloMet. And have been freelancing in performing arts on side of studies.

We want Stoga scenecamp to be a creative and inclusive meeting point for performing artists. Here in Bygland, there is plenty of space both indoors and outdoors, and a rural idyll. Here, you can develop and work on ideas and projects, together with others who are doing the same, while experiencing the beautiful Setesdal.
