You and Me
Sara Fellman
”You and me” er en forestilling som ble utviklet under skoletiden i India. Her kombineres butoh og teater i en historie om en indre konflikt i et menneske. Det foreligger et ønske i mennesket, men mennesket vil ikke vedkjenne seg dette. Likevel er ønsket der, og det river og sliter som demoner - skal jeg følge mitt oppriktige ønske, eller følge det både mine omgivelser og jeg forventer?

Nostalgia
Orland Verdú
Memories keep the flame of love alive (recordar, from the latin 'to pass through the heart') and at the same time maintain life in a larva state: in an everlasting autumn that feeds off a tender romantic sadness. When remembering becomes beautiful and painful, and the soul continues to burn for the absence of the other, nostalgia becomes a refuge. A home to return to.
Migrations
Josephine Grundy (Voxdansa)
A semi-improvised piece that combines butoh dance, mime/clown and voice in an investigation on the theme of migrations of different kinds, in space, in time, in our hearts and minds.
A woman.
The space, despite its crystalline emptiness,
does not consume her
She acknowledges, affirms, with her silence,
her will to be, to be alive.
Light.
Silence that carries the unsaid
Just before action. In non-action.
Where the journey occurs.
Where the train is waiting for her.
She is capable, in the emptiness
Of pronouncing the word 'Canada'
Of travelling to any place
And with a viceral impulse
she says that what is never said
She leaves, pink transluscent crystal
with her train
Spiral-train
and her traveller's grief

Installation piece
Poetry from the peat
Art film(20 min)
Andreas Lenoardsen, Atsushi Takenouchi and Tove- Elena Nicolaysen.
The project is a collaboration between dancers Atsushi Takenouchi (Japan) and Tove Elena Nicolaisen (Norway / Chile), musicians Hiroko Kamiya and Torgeir Vassvik and filmmaker Andreas Leonardsen and includes Butoh dance and Japanese and Sami contemporary.
The artists are concerned with unity between man and nature, and Jøndahlsmåsan was chosen as recreation spot because of its beautiful surroundings, but also because of the consequences that peat extraction has on both birdlife and global warming.
Jødahlsmåsan is a peat bog and a natural carbon sink on the border between Nes and Ullensaker municipality, where allowed peat extraction is estimated to lead to emissions of 293,000 tonnes of CO2.
In Descanto
Art film(20 min)
Josephine Grundy and Andres Bartos
composed and performed by Josephine Grundy (voice, dance, keyboard)
film version by Andres Bartos (http://www.andresbartos.com)
A 'vocal dance' performance that combines elements from butoh dance, physical theatre, vocal technique, musical composition and film.
The central theme of the piece is the voice.
The voice as a channel for primitive forces, textures, sonic images, atemporal associations.
The voice that tells a story, our common history, the narrative of a character whom we occasionally catch glimpses of.
The voice in relation to the body, to the space and structures that surround us.
The voice in relation to words- their weight, their beauty, their limitations, the borders they impose, the barriers they break down.
