About Sámi Teáhter Searvi
Sámi Teámi Searvi (STS) is an association dedicated to uniting and supporting Sámis working within theater and performing arts and provides several funds and scholarships. STS is also member of the Sámi Artists Council, working alongside the Sámi Parliament in Norway to agree on the financial framework for associations, funds, scholarships, and other incentives that are in the best interest of Sámi artists.

STS Members – including actors, dancers, choreographers, playwrights, scenographers, costume designers, theater musicians, technicians, and directors, among others – become part of a network in the field of performing arts among the Sámi people and other indigenous peoples and are invited to take part in decision-making and influencing cultural politics and financial conditions for Sámis working within theater and performing arts.
