What inspired Muzziball?
The inventor of Muzziball, violinist Ingerine wanted to create a device that engaged children immediately, that inspired movement AND that simply felt good for a children’s performance that since has been named “Lysprinsesså “. This was the start of the IoT sensory ball Muzziball. When combined with being deeply moved and inspired while being guest-concertmaster in the Spor performance at Kilden in 2023 where she got to work with people with special needs for the first time and saw how important music and movement and creativity are for ALL people, she started Muzziball AS together with Aleksanda Jankovic, which aims to enable self-regulation, learning and play for ALL who need it!
