Teaterforum

Teaterforum was established in 1990. Large parts of the activity ceased to exist in 1994 because of lack of funds, but the enterprise still lives on.

Nina Engelund, Karen Høie and Svein Gundersen started Teaterforum because they wanted a forum through which different artistic expressions could meet and get to know each other in the Hamar region of Eastern Norway.
