In MELLOMLAND, artistic director Annabelle Bonnéry has engaged two up and coming choreographers from the same generation to create a two-part full evening for Carte Blanche, co-produced by Bergen International Festival. Five and nine dancers meet choreographers Roza Moshtaghi and Lander Patrick in a double bill that presents Norwegian and international contemporary dance on the same stage:
 
The starting point for BUD is "waiting", and in the performance choreographer, Roza Moshtaghi explores how we can experience a story about "waiting" and expectations associated with being in this mysterious state.

IN SOVACO DE COBRA (The snake's armpit) by Lander Patrick, we are invited into a world where social rules must give way to the rules of a game. Using the angle of chess – informed by his fascination with the duality of this strategic and warlike game – Patrick creates an energetic performance where new rules emerge, and the pieces of the game are challenged.
 
Performance dates: 26 – 28 May & 30 May – 3 Jun 2022 in Studio Bergen during Bergen International Festival. More info and tickets here.

"Gympa" [jym`pa] is a Swedish form of group aerobic training. MEDELGYMPA is your all-around workout and art experience. We exercise to very traditional gympa music, and it can get sweaty if you want it to. Bring your metaphorical machete out. Touch down to the sound of creaking wood. Allow your body to turn into a marshmallow in a cup of hot cocoa. MEDELGYMPA is the kind of gympa that encourages laziness. It's gympa deluxe.

MEDELGYMPA is both a performing arts event and a session of gympa. The audience is guided by a performer and through instructions in headphones. Concept, script and choreography by Anna Haglund, Annica Styrke, Ellen Söderhult and Karin Wiklund. With support from Kulturrådet and Region Stockholm. For full credits and more information - please go here.

Helena Franzén has created a new solo, REVERBERATE, specially made for the exhibition by choreographer Noa Eshkol "Rules Theory and Passion" at Norrköping Art Museum (SE). It is the first major retrospective exhibition in the Nordic countries with works by Noa Eshkol (1924-2007). The exhibition covers Noa Eshkol's entire life and collective production; her research, theory development, studies of language comprehension, textile art, and movement notation. REVERBERATE is shown 14 May, 20 Aug, 27 Aug, and 24 Sep 2022.

Helena Franzén connects her own choreographic work with Noa Eshkol, who also dedicated herself to the body as the ultimate expression, as the messenger of the movement. In their dance, it is the stripped-down expression, the non-hierarchical, and the passion for movement as a language that connects them. Helena appears in the exhibition on 13 occasions and in connection with the performances she also gives movement workshops on a number of occasions for visitors to the museum. Read more here.

For the solo, a film is also created in collaboration with the filmmaker Håkan Jelk, which will be shown in one of the exhibitions. The project "Dance with Noa" is carried out in collaboration with Dance in the East / Region Östergötland, Oslo Art Association, and Jewish Culture in Sweden. With the support of the Swedish Council for Culture.

Taneli Törmä - LOCATION X is working in the Fish Factory Creative Centre Iceland and at Tyrone Guthrie Centre Ireland to create a new site-specific performance in collaboration with theater director Caroline McSweeney and sound designer Esa Mattila.

DANCE OF THE FISHERMAN is a site-specific performance created for harbours across Europe. The artists hunt unheard stories and local traditions from the leisure to the working fisherman/woman and their families. This touring performance is created in collaboration with the local communities. The communities' history, culture, and local fishing habits will therefore affect the outcome of the performance.

In an imagistic walking tour, the audience is physically drawn into the world of the fisherman. With toes in the water and fingers busy untangling the net, the audience will listen to local stories, surrounded by an evocative soundtrack and all together under the sunset sky.

Premiere: 26-30 Jul 2022, Passage Festival Espergaerde Harbour (DK).

DELIGHTHOUSE AND THE DARK ROOM is created from different listening scores and somatic practises, unfolding a sonosphere that guides and holds the moving body. As a continuation of the "queer healing aerobics programme" / dance piece THE FISHINGDANCE & OTHER COSMIC CONFESSIONS, Sindri collaborates with composer Markus B. Almqvist and experiments further with audible dances, and how music and sound can be a primary source for choreography and the perception of dance. In "Delighthouse...", their collaboration extends into a broader process and a dialog with Sindri's text and songwriting blended with Markus's compositions and music production. The sonic methods and songs express both a performance narrative, as well as somatic dance practices

Performances: 18-19 Jun 2022, Dansstationen, Malmö (SE). More info coming soon on Dansstationen's website here.

Charlotta Öfverholm is performing in TITANAS in May. TITANAS is a meeting between Sol Picó, Anna Ventura Natsuki and Charlotta Öfverholm. The purest, wildest, and most genuine energies and forces emerge identities fade, skins are exchanged and a dialogue begins between that multiplicity of entities that struggle within us to excel. Wrapped in the music of Judith Farrés and the voices of a choir of twelve women, this triad of warrior goddesses, decidedly powerful, euphoric, and optimistic, is reborn creating a new ideal, utopian and fantastic universe, with no rules to fulfill or archetypes in which to fit in. Watch a trailer here.

Performances TITANAS: 18-22 May 2022,  Palau de les Arts, Valencia, 29 May 2022, Teatre Principal de Castelló, Castelló de la Plana (ES).

How do we move? Where? Why? When? Since January, a group of eight women in Sundsvall (SE) has been meeting to explore space through contemporary dance. Spearheaded by choreographer and researcher Polena Kolia Petersen, this cross-generational community project from Norrdans has brought women together to imagine a better future through collaborative movement, conversation, and improvisation.

- It has left me with a feeling of freedom. I have conquered the space and the right to move in it. Or at least started to conquer, says Karin, one of the participants, about being a part of the project.

Moving with thoughtfulness and intention through the public SPACE FEMALE (WITH) SPACE will present several performances in Sundsvall on 6, 9 and 11 Jun 2022, marking the end of the project, but the beginning of a new, imagined future. Learn more here.

CRAWL CRAWL CRAWL is a staged choir piece with 12 singers, experienced from the edge of a swimming pool. In a physical study of water resonance, the singers float in weightless sequences while pondering on the paradoxes of a welfare state. CRAWL CRAWL CRAWL is a sensitivity analysis in the nature of inequality. A choreographic portrayal of the welfare state and its many flaws. The singers become a group searching for a common voice, insurgently longing for meaning. In their polyphonic strive, they uncover the imbalance that a class-based society creates.

The work is created by Convoi Exceptionnel and Jon R. Skulberg in close collaboration with composer Lil Lacy, dramaturge Astrid Hansen Holm, conductor Mathias Skaarup Sørensen, designer Kit Wan, and the vocal ensemble ENSEMBLE EDGE. For more info, credits and tickets go here.

Performances dates: 4-6 Jun 2022, Aarhus (DK), 28-29 Jul 2022, PASSAGE festival, Helsingør (DK).

The performance HISTORY OF SEXUALITY tours to theatre FÅR302 in Copenhagen (DK), 22-29 Jun 2022.

HISTORY OF SEXUALITY is an interactive DIY performance about sex. In this queer and quirky performance, troublemakers and performance artists Andreas Constantinou and Annika B. Lewis shamelessly address the taboos and desires, the power and social grip that sex has over us all. Wearing anything from, well… nothing to rabbit-, bear- and cuddly sex monster costumes, they take you on a wild ride through their own histories of sexuality; a living archive in a simple do-it-yourself style, that encourages you to take back the power over your body and sexuality. Because sex sells. Sex rules.

”The performance opens up some good talks and reflections on the topic of sexuality, which for many may be associated with shame. ‘History of sexuality’ is a fresh, playful and liberating breath that encourages the audience to take ownership of their own narrative and their own sexuality.” - Scenekanten

THE HISTORY OF SEXUALITY is produced by Kassandra Production in collaboration with Bora Bora – dance and visual theatre, The Genderhouse Queer Arts Festival, Theatre FÅR302.Supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, Aarhus Kommunes Kulturudviklingspulje, Københavns Scenekunsudvalg, Ottarfonden.

In May Bobbi Lo Produktion starts the research for a new interactive performance for teenagers, KOLONISTERNA (the Colonists) will be the second piece in a trilogy that deals with social structures in our society.

Is colonization something that only belongs to our history or is it still a reality today? Bobbi Lo Produktions interactive piece KOLONISTERNA is based on Nordic colonial history. The question is whether it is over? This satirical performance directs a critical eye at our mutual history, which many prefer to forget, and at the colonial structures that prevail today. Structures that are deeply rooted in our behaviors, so deep that one becomes almost blind to failing rights and invisible hierarchies.

KOLONISTERNA is created in collaboration with Nordic artists from Greenland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and The Faroe Islands and the piece will premiere 23 Nov 2022 in Malmö. Choreography by Lava Markusson and Michael Tang. For full credits and more information - please go here.
