Norwegian choreographers Anne Grete Eriksen and Leif Hernes have been the leaders of DansDesign since 1978. Together they have created a great number of big performances. Their works have been described as innovative, bold and multimedial. They have choreographed pieces such as JUV, MOT HIMLALEITE, the opening and closing ceremony at the Olympic Games (1994) and DOCPLATS (2010). Anne Grete Eriksen and Leif Hernes together with DansDesign are famous for creating visually spectacular performances. They challenge the space both inside and outside and have been performing in beautiful landscape settings. Together with Norwegian composer Bjarne Kvinnsland the couple will visit Yunnan and during 12 days they will meet with local artists and experience the everyday life of the people in the province. The purpose of the visit is to connect with local artists and make plans for performances further ahead.
One part of this artistic project, which we call “Urbi et Orbi” is a workshop held at TCG Nordica in the afternoon of May 14th, 2011, 2pm. The three Norwegian artists will meet with musicians and dancers from Yunnan province and share experiences, music, dance and concepts of performance with each other. We are happy to invite anyone who is interested in viewing the exchange between the artists. As a guest you will be able to be a spectator of the workshop and discover how the communication is developing within the artistic group.
This project is supported by Areopagos, ArtsNordica, the Norwegian ministry of foreign affairs and Danse og Teatersentrum.
