Solos 2024

Emma Jansen

I carry seeds
I´m a flower
I´m a lover
I cry weeds
I cry needs
I want this to continue
Forever
To run faster, faster, faster
Immerse between Mars
And larynx’s silent scars

Anders Engebretsen

Han kjører enkel stil, now, as skies grow black
And forces mass to take you back
Mere moments, to a time that seems
So distant, and so very long ago

Tormod Tora Skår Midtbø

A choreographic etude transitioning through different voicebodies reveals how the multitude of vocal landscapes changes the perception of a dance. Disunity develops a figure who moves in a state of inner rupture and incoherence, rejecting the idea of body as a hermetic and stable reality.

‘Disunity’

Medskapende utøver: Tormod Tora Skår Midtbø
Koreograf: Jule Flierl
Inspired by Your Prelude by Susanne Sundfør

Katja Weber

“Over There!” explores the contrasts in human experience. The figure carries bags symbolizing positive, negative, and brutal challenges. The piece examines the complexity of our individual stories and the inherent absurdity of existence.

‘Over There!’

Musikk: CoH

Carl Aquilizan

Moving between known and unknown
architectures, claiming space as much as
being out of place, a morphing body both
grounded and collapsed, reveals echoes
from the past. Acts of longing and refusal,
gestures of resistance and surrender, hums
of hope.

‘Quiet Refusal’

Medskapende danser: Carl Aquilizan
Koreograf: Joshua Serafin
Musikk: VRANG (Susanne Xin og Nora Klungresæter)

Shelmith Øseth

You ask us for things, you ask for beauty..
kindness, you ask for all these as if you are
asking us for candy..
You depend on human misfortune to
manufacture a thought. You want to
triumph with your thought at the cost of
horror. Thought is born out of catastrophe
isn’t it? You need my failure and my
despair to be able to think. To find truth, to
appropriate morality.

‘Horse In Flames’
