April 6+7. Flakkande røynd / Rannei Grenne & Solveig Styve Holte (NO)
Flakkande røynd is a new artistic collaboration between the dancers Rannei Grenne and Solveig Styve Holte, and the artistic partnerships that inspire them: the musicians, Anja Lauvdaland and Heida Karine Johannesdottir, and the designers, Harald Lunde Helgesen and Ida Falck Øien in HAiKw/.
Grenne and Holte’s interest and practice is rooted in formalism which they have both explored for some time. With this new project, their desire is to convey both the complex and the straight-forward.
In Flakkande røynd, source materials and different working strategies are transformed to create small glimpses of unity with each other and with different manifestations. How does one manage to get movements and artistic principles to tremble, sweat and be exhausted? Together they create an instrument where everything becomes visible and detailed, seams and cracks are open and human physicality is ever present. Rock solid and flickering, they creak and twitter a live experience that transcends concert, fashion show and performance.

Release KOREOGRAFI 2018
It is with pleasure that we invite to the Stockholm launch of the second edition of the anthology KOREOGRAFI which consists of eleven newly written texts by artists working in dance and choreography in the Nordic countries. The editorial team consists of the Norwegian dance artists Solveig Styve Holte, Ann-Christin Kongsness and Venke Marie Sortland who jointly want to rethink and contribute to a rich and complex understanding of the concept of choreography. They want to approach choreography as a separate area of knowledge and want to reach out and contribute to creating a larger Nordic community. Our ambition is to take care of a reflective room that we experience is threatened, namely thinking about and about artistic work.
Participants in this edition are: Ellen Söderhult, DANSEatelier, Marie Bergby Handeland, Tone Pernille Østern, Galerie, Jana Unmüssig, Ann-Christin Kongsness, Brynjar Bandlien, Satu Herrala, Alexander Roberts, Ilse Ghekiere, Elina Pirinen and Venke Marie Sortland. Common to the texts in this edition of KOREOGRAPHY is an interest in the language the artists themselves can develop – everyone tries in different ways to find a productive relationship with the text as an expression. All texts are available in both Scandinavian and English versions.
At the launch, the editorial staff will give a brief presentation of the current edition of KOREOGRAFI, followed by a deep-dive into two of the texts in conversations with participants and other artists.
