Finally and closer to Christmas, Engelkes' hybrid version of the fairytale about the Ash-tree girl or Cinderella, opens as a guest performance at moment:teater in Stockholm (SE). Charlotte digs up the fairytales and buries the princes. In a honest attempt to find her true voice, she tells the story of Cinderella - or a more sinister tale, in her very own way. A sooty and crystal clear restitution of the child within. And maybe a subconscious tactic to find a prince above earth - or under. World premiere 23 Nov 2018. Also showing on 25 and 30 Nov 2018. More info here.

INGUN BJØRNSGAARD PROSJEKT
- New piece opens at Dansens Hus (NO) in October
 

Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt presents the world premiere of A LIST OF THINGS HE SAID on 19 Oct 2018 at Dansens Hus, Oslo (NO). This is the first time Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt creates a piece with only male dancers. The work will be shown together with the critically acclaimed NOTES ON FRAILTY (2017), featuring four female dancers, 19-21 Oct 2018. Writing movement in time and space, cultural perceptions and contradictions related to femininity and the masculine are at stake, construed and reversed with Bjørnsgaards's idiosyncratic combination of rigorous detail and everyday theatricality. In both performances Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt collaborates closely with composer and musician Christian Wallumrød. The performances are available for touring and can be shown together or separately.

NOTES ON FRAILTY will be presented at the ICE HOT Nordic Dance Platform in Reykjavík on 15 Dec 2018, as well as one extra performance open to the public on 16 Dec 2018 at the National Theatre of Iceland.

Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt will also be present at CINARS in Montreal in November! Feel free to contact Jorunn Kjersem Hildre, producer.

World premiere 7 Nov 2018 of Virpi Pahkinen's new work MONOLIT POLYGON with five dancers and newly composed music by Jonas Sjöblom, at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern Stockholm (SE). Also showing 9, 10, 11, 17, 18 Nov 2018.

Inspiration for the work is taken from the Dutch visual artist and graphic designer M.C. Escher's mathematical-organic illusions, crystallographic reflections and figures of eternal connections in unlimited space. In MONOLIT POLYGON, Pahkinen plays with the perspective of laws of nature, as well as well-known concepts such as upside-down, back and forth. A welded group breathes collectively, but also splits into individual components. There is tension between order and chaos, freedom and bondage. The piece goes from monolithic density to polygonal connections - from the triangle to the apeirogon.

In November Virpi will be showing her piece DEEP TIME at CINARS Biennale. Read more here.

The choreographers Mari Carrasco and Peter Svenzon are drawing inspiration from the novel "Internally Black".
