A SENSORAL LECTURE is a solo performance by and with Sindri Runudde, in which we encounter five voices through metaphoric dating scenarios. The show deals with auditory romance and love at first frequency, an exploration of sound, and especially the voice, like touch. Through dance, dialogue, and movement exercises, the audience is invited to a sensoral lecture with humour, imagination, and sensitivity. Together with composer Marta Forsberg, Sindri explored the concept of a voice message and the culture of auditive versus text-based SMS. With guidance from Sindri, the audience will be invited to try this practice during the performance.

MELLOMLAND is a double bill created by two up-and-coming choreographers for Carte Blanche's five and nine dancers. Choreographer Roza Moshtaghi explores how we can experience a story about waiting and expectations associated with being in this mysterious state. Enigmatic figures are dressed in costumes that borders on installations, making BUD’s scenic waiting room a strong visual experience. In SOVACO DE COBRA ("the snake’s armpit"), we are invited into a world where social rules must give way to the rules of a game. Using the angle of chess, choreographer Lander Patrick creates an energetic performance full of virtuosity, and sharp and crisp movements.

FOR EVER FOUR SEASONS will show at ICE HOT NORDIC DANCE PLATFORM on 1 Jul 2022, 3:45 pm, in Helsinki / Konepaja Vallila Stage (FI). More info here.

FOR EVER FOUR SEASONS is a musical, choreographic, and existentialist work that insists on slowness as an act of resistance against a rapidly accelerating world. Inviting you to a sensuous experience, both pleasing and disturbing, we pose the fundamental question: What is mankind's role in the Anthropocene era?

The dancers' conditions and emotional states are anchored to the newly composed works by the cello duo Soma & Lil and the composer as well as sound artist Kristian Hverring. In a slow but constant change, the staging, scenography, and light by Jon R. Skulberg invite the audience to a series of images of presence.

YES is a cascade of pleasure, sadness, and dreams of possibilities. Morphing through a constant of what has been and what is.

PARTITA NO.2 – SEI SOLO is a piece created in a collaboration between the violinist Jonathan Morton from Scottish Ensemble and choreographer Örjan Andersson. Within Sebastian Bach's piece ”Partita for violin no.2” the piece examines this historical document from the early 18th century with the help of five dancers and Jonathan Morton on stage.

The process of creating Partita focuses on the literature surrounding the original piece and the performance will present a diptych where the two entities music and text meet, these contrasts will become the base of the performance. The human constant ambition to try to explain music through the written word and the many written interpretations this has created will be the starting point for the second part of the piece. The historical literary material will be processed and morphed so that a new logic, meaning, and non-meaning will be created.

Co-production Andersson Dance, NorrlandsOperan & Dansens Hus. With support from the Swedish Arts Council/Kulturrådet, Stockholms Stad, and Region Stockholm. For full credits list and additional information - go here.

Performance dates: 4 Oct 2022, Västerås Konserthus, 6 Oct 2022, Uppsala Konsert & Kongress (SE), 8 Oct 2022, Kungsbacka teater (SE), 12 Oct 2022, Kulturhuset Tio14, Falun (SE).

This summer Bobbi Lo Produktion is creating a site-specific piece in the landscape between logic and fantasy, REALI-TEA will premiere 2 Aug 2022 at Galleri CC in Malmö. The audience is taken on a journey away from reality into a world full of surrealism and events beyond logic. They will meet characters who challenge our perception of identity, cultural and social norms, and the idea of what is real, right, or wrong. Who is living in a fantasy world and who is not..?

With inspiration from Alice in Wonderland and surrealism, REALI-TEA invites the audience into an alternative reality, one that can take unexpected twists and turns, all based upon the active participation and choices of the audience. A twisted tea party and flying books. Just like in Wonderland all rhyme and reason is turned upside down, and no one knows where the journey will end... Choreography by Lava Markusson. For more info, full credits list, and tickets go 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: 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. Sponsored by Lust.dk.

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
