Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt presents SEVEN DUETS at Scenehuset in Oslo (NO) 26-27 Nov 2020. With a starting point in Edvard Munch's image Harpy and his own alleged intimacy anxiety, we bring alienation and longing to life in a way that the viewer can identify with. The dance is realized in a duet format that opposes any seamless interaction and explores a fragmented and partially repetitive movement in the meeting points between human beings. Performed by the dancers Louis Schou-Hansen, Matias Rønningen, Katja Henriksen Schia and Charlott Utzig. Choreography by Ingun Bjørnsgaard.

During the dance event "Bollnäs dansar" (SE) on 17 Oct 2020 the three dancers Helena Franzén, Emilia Fridholm and Jenny Jonsson give their dance interpretation of your favorite song directly into your mobile. Concept and choreography by Helena Franzén. Streaming / film by Håkan Jelk. The dance is performed live in different site specific places and will be streamed. Instead of a flower bid, the dancers appear on your phone as a dance bid: We are the Dance Message!
Helena Franzén´s new work, TRIA is created on the basis of the phenomenon of how we interpret each other physically. What is it we see and in what way can we reproduce an experience? A solo is interpreted by two dancers and a kind of whispering game occurs. The premiere is 13-14 Nov 2020 at Gävle teater (SE), also showing 24 Nov 2020 at Ljusdal teater (SE).
Helena will present part of her retrospective MY DANCING LIFE at Bollnäs bibliotek 10 Oct-7 Nov 2020. The exhibition was shown at the Dansmuseet/Museum of Dance in Stockholm (SE) from December to February 2019-20. Helena generously shares her work with photographs, extracts of her performances during 30 years, costumes, two new books by Cecilia Malmström Olsson and Sinikka Neuhaus, dance films and more.

TERO SAARINEN COMPANY

Tampereen Työväen Teatteri's rock musical rendition of Hamlet received several rave reviews following its premiere on 3 Sep 2020. TSC's role in director Otso Kautto's eclectic team of artists was to work with the actors' movement identity, based on the butoh-inspired TERO technique. Tero Saarinen and Satu Halttunen have helped the actors find a new identity via their physical existence. "The aim has not been to do choreography as such, but more to help the actors channel their character via physical form. Their movement will manifest a mindset that stems from all the contradiction and violence that Hamlet sows around him.", describes Saarinen. According to critics, Tero Saarinen and Satu Halttunen's work "helped breathe life into the characters" and "Makes it especially thrilling to watch how Hamlet - eternally struggling with words - uses movement as a way of expressing the deepest corners of his mind" Learn more about Tero Saarinen Company at madeintheweb.com

THE SOUL CATCHER tours to Momentum Theatre in Odense (DK) 22-23 Sept 2020. THE SOUL CATCHER is a seductive and deeply disturbing performance about psychological abuse, manipulation and power - in a powerful mix of performance, dance, spoken word and electronic music. THE SOUL CATCHER is produced by Kassandra Production in a co-production with theatre Bora Bora. The press wrote: "The performance is sharp and unsentimental. It is a mix of performance, dance, spoken words and seasoned with hard electronic music. The three actors do not compromise their expression but deliver a solid performance. The performance fully lives up to my high expectations , which over time I got to the creator of the work, Annika B. Lewis and also got a great gift at the top of the hat, as the theme was both presented as autofiction and fantastic portrayed. Bravo for courage and artistic pondus.” – Kulturnyt Learn more about Kassandra at madeintheweb.com |
