Together, Rakel and Stine have developed a bodily exploratory practice titled Samling. Samling that grew out of a shared desire to sharpen performative skills and embodied presence, as well as a need for a dedicated dance-artistic workspace and a forum for discussion. The practice centers on extended improvisational sessions, with a focus on dance as a physical craft—emphasizing non-judgmental, non-productive work and a heightened awareness of choices and possibilities within improvisation.

Stine Gjestvang is a dancer and choreographer based in Oslo. She works as a freelance dance artist in project-based collaborations with various groups and constellations, including Gefyl Dansekompani, Driv Dansekollektiv, Glitch!, and Østby/Gjestvang. As a performer, Stine has also collaborated with Rom for dans and Landing.

Rakel Laupsa-Nesje is a dance artist based in Oslo, working creatively as a choreographer and performer across a range of projects and constellations. As a performer, Rakel has collaborated with, among others, Landing, Rom for dans, and Tony Tran. In 2021, she co-founded RAUS Danseater with Maja Freiberg. The company operates as an exploratory collective, investigating how tactile physical objects influence and shape dance expression.
