Annika Vestel - Cracked Concrete

She is dirty, exposed, a non-human. Through a 15 kg. heavy dress made of mirrors she is carrying her ambient with her, constantly reflecting what is around her, she is her physical environment. Cracked Concrete is a 15 min long, poetic, visually spectacular and meditative solo-performance in the borderline between dance, theatre and installation art. In this interactive performance the audience meets -not only this strange creature, a kind of a human cameleont that is matching her environment to the extent that she is almost experienced as an extension of it. They´ll also meet them selves.

KUB collective - KUB no.2

KUB no.1 is a performance that explores peoples relation to their own history and identity. By placing the audience around tables at the edge of the stage and inviting them for a cup of tea, they create a warm and including atmosphere, where the audience feels drawn to the story that is told. The piece starts with the story of the tea they are drinking. Where it comes from and the journey it has been though to get here. Through text, movement, theater and music the story about the performers journey is slowly revealed. 4 different personalities with a different background gets to unfold and share their story.

Gunnhilde Høyer - "Environmental Residue" (W.I.P) outdoor presentation/ on site artist talk

The watercolors are open air paintings created in a water container mounted on an easel, which by means of adjustable feet can be positioned horizontally in a landscape. The water container is filled with watercolors dissolved in water. Then paper is immersed in the liquid. As the liquid evaporates and the water level is lowered, residual lines are deposited on the paper. Bright fields show hot days, when evaporation has been rapid, and dark field shows the opposite, that the environmental conditions slowed the evaporation. Just as the rings in a tree show the environmental growth conditions a tree has been exposed to throughout its life, the watercolors do the same through the residual lines produced by the evaporation process from top to bottom of the page. The presentation will be at the artists house in Kolbjørnsvik. Take the ferry (5 min) from the city centre. Schedule can be found here.

Katarina Skår Henriksen - A dance performance situated close to the sea

Behind the lights of the transparent window, someone listen in the dark. From the top of a hill, grasshoppers whisper. Waterfalls are making sound. A big leaf of green. Shaped as a mouth of a trumpet. Covering the big water. One by one little tears are rolling down, until it meets the flower of the leaf. Photo: Tim Prebble
