ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS The workshops are designed in such a way that they reach as wide a spectrum as possible from the playwright to the dance maker, the actor to the group as a creator. The workshops will be lead by a mix of Nordic and international leaders to introduce as many aspects of the performing arts/ideas/methods of the western world theater as possible to the participants. The workshops are an important part of our overall aim, to exchange knowledge and experience across the art form, its genres and generations, as well as bring novelties to highlight. The concept and definition of the “author” will have a specific focus; who have been, are, or will be, THE CREATORS in the performing arts?

The workshops and leaders are:

Workshop 1 Kai Johnsen (NO) Educated as a stage director at The National College of Dramatic Arts and The University in Oslo. Has directed 50 plays in leading Norwegian and foreign theatres, amongst them more than ten world premieres of plays by Jon Fosse. Kai is the artistic director of The Development department at Dramatikkens hus (National Centre for New Writing for the Stage) in Oslo, Norway. The centre is a pioneer in providing development and new competence for performing artists in new writing. Kai Johnsen will during the workshop draw up on his experience in developing new writing for the stage. Further information:

Workshop 2 She She Pop (GER) is a performance collective based in Berlin. Founded in 1998 by graduates from the applied theatre studies course in Giessen, She She Pop currently has seven permanent members: Sebastian Bark, Johanna Freiburg, Fanni Halmburger, Lisa Lucassen, Mieke Matzke, Ilia Papatheodorou and Berit Stumpf. Their art deals with responsibility and risk. It is a place where performing the self and presenting the art of the everyday bring with them challenges that each of us must rise to. This will be the subject of their workshop. Further information: http://www.sheshepop.de/english/about-us

Workshop 3 Mårten Spångberg (SE) is a performance related artist, choreographer and theoritician living and working in Stockholm. He has been active on stage as performer and creator since 1994. He has thorough experience in teaching both theory and practice. Between 2008 -2012 he was a director of the MA program in choreography at the University of Dance in Stockholm. In 2011 his first book "Spangbergianism" was published. The workshop will introduce on a practical as well as discursive level the foundations for choreography as an expanded practice. Choreography as an expanded practice opens for the possibility of choreography as an autonomous capacity, choreography in itself and as such, a detachment from dance, appearance and expression.

Workshop 4 Jón Atli Jónasson and Jón Páll Eyjólfsson (ICE) are members of Mindgroup, a group of European theatre makers working in the realm of experimental theatre. Mindgroup is an umbrella foundation that discards traditional roles within the theatre hierarchy.

Workshop 6 Ellen Lauren (US) is North America’s foremost teacher in Suzuki method of actor training and Viewpoints. The Suzuki method's principal concern is with restoring the wholeness of the human body and voice to the theatrical context and uncovering the actor's innate expressive abilities.
Viewpoints is a technique of improvisation which allows a group of performing artists to function together spontaneously and intuitively and to generate bold, theatrical work quickly. It develops flexibility, articulation, and strength in movement for the both individual and ensemble. Ellen Lauren is associate artistic director of the SITI Company and an ongoing guest artist, for the past 16 years, with the Suzuki Company of Toga (SCoT) under the direction of Tadashi Suzuki. She has taught and performed all over the world. Her workshop will centre on the Suzuki method and Viewpoints. Further information: http://www.siti.org/whoweare.htm#lauren
