ABOUT:

This Fall PRAXIS organizes twice a month, a 3 days long 'morning sharing' at Dansens Haus (Hausmania). We have invited several dance artists who will hold a space in which they share their ways into dancing. This can be a warm up routine, a combination of tasks, references to other classes or clash of techniques that have inspired them.

The classes take 1,5h or 2h and start at 9.30h. Be on time as the location is not ideal for latecomers.

You can come for 3 days (250 NOK), or drop in (100 NOK).

DESCRIPTION:

In my work I'm interested in moods and forms of attention and how they have the ability to warp time. In these morning sessions we will use dancing, reading and writing as tools to specify embodied fantasies and fictions. We will be dealing with how dance can make the connection between the invisible and the visible come alive. We will use ideas about the body from movie and media theory to explore movement as a tool for world-building. My practice is based in different kinds of somatic work, it is fueled by concepts that rule the realm of the visible and how these can be combined. During these sessions we will both witness and be witnessed by each other.

Working language will be either english or norwegian depending on who is there. Please bring your notebooks.
