Program:

Mariko Miyata-Jancey is a fearless and open Japanese-Norwegian multidisciplinary artist, based just outside Oslo. Her projects span the range from children’s books all the way to experimental dance performance. Throughout her career, she has explored different aspects of human existence, such as identity, sexuality, motherhood, and love. For I am undone, she draws inspiration from Hufsa (in the Moomintroll books by Tove Jansson) and Death (in the book Duck, Death and the Tulip by Wolf Erlbruch) for a character who is scary but delicate, and independent but lonely. How can we relate to what is unknown, scary and different? How can we empathize with those we are afraid of?

Katarina Skår Lisa is a choreographer, dancer and movement teacher. Her aim with artistic enquiries is to create spaces to witness, accommodate and contemplate on close relationships between people, cultures and inner- outer landscapes. At I AM UNDONE she will be merging an older work called Samtale med Stein with ideas for a new work Elliid Luottat- Dyrenes Spor. It will be the first time Samtale med Stein specifically is presented for children as the main audience and Katarina will investigate how this work can communicate with a younger audience.

UTVIK/BARFOD is a collaborative performing arts duo between choreographer Ida Cathrin Utvik (NO) and costume designer and scenographer Lærke Bang Barfod (DK). Their practice moves in a landscape between dance performance and installation art, and they are particularly interested in materiality and the encounter between body and material. With their work, they have a goal of creating rich, multisensorial and inclusive performing arts for children and their adults, which also dares to touch upon big themes. In their research project REvolusjon, together with musician and performer Nicolaj Wamberg (DK), and dance artists Oda Olivia Lindegård (NO) and Emma Jansen (NO), they are investigating in the human creature in an evolutionary perspective, and speculate in how our bodies possibly could have been like if our evolution took us on a different path. "REvolution" points both to a re-thinking of evolution, but also revolution as a means when radical change is needed. Because if we don't change our course in terms of our current way of living and consuming of the earth's resources, then what?

Indre is a performance project for children that expresses the relationship between dance, music, and emotions. An artistic team of two contemporary dancers, Ingvild Marstein Olsen and Liv Edginton and 2 musicians Jan Martin Gismervik (drums) and Guoste Tamulynaite (electronics). Still in development, Indre experiments with contrast, intensity, and improvisation to create a multi-layered experience. Aiming to evoke emotional nuance and kinaesthetic empathy, Indre encourages children to connect with and experience abstract performance.
