Ann-Christin Kongsness (she/her) is educated in dance, choreography, aesthetic theory, and literary studies, and is currently pursuing an MA in Arts Education at NTNU. She works as a dancer, choreographer, writer, educator, and drag king based in Oslo. Her work takes the form of performances, seminars, workshops, lectures, talk series, texts/publications, and drag shows. She is the editor of the anthology KOREOGRAFI (published in three editions), and in recent years her artistic work has had an explicitly queer focus, as Robin in the drag king group Gutta and through the performance series Butch Tribute.
In her Praxis Lab, Kongsness will focus on choreography as a practice centered on making choices, and will offer different approaches to choreography motivated by various aesthetic theories. This session is drawn from her master’s project in arts education, Conceptual Thinking in Teaching for Contemporary Choreography.
*PRAXIS Lab is an improvisational session where artist can share any type of exploration, scores, questions or experiments together with a group; an open space to test, sense, discuss or reflect together.
