The Choreography Laboratory 2022

This is the 2022 Choreography Laboratory:

Huyen Brown – Embrya

In Embrya, Huyen Brown (born in 1981) works on weaving together material from previous works into a personal solo about origin and identity, about the life of a mother and the dark sea. She shows a willingness to challenge her artistic hip hop background, and thereby shows a potential for a new choreographic expression.

Lisa Collette Bysheim and Katrine Patry – Blue Carousel

Lisa Colette Bysheim (born in 1991) and Katrine Patry (born in 1986) in Blue Carousel explore power structures and portrayals of the seductive body, based on humour and the mating dance of birds.

Iannes Bruylant and Anna Benedicte Andresen – An existential duet

Iannes Bruylant (born in 1993) and Anna Benedicte Andresen (born in 1998) try to solve existential problems with dance, and charmingly interweave text and movement with a compositional playfulness in An existential duet.

Tormod Midtbø – Monstrosities

The contemporary desire to categorise and oppress will be challenged by Tormod Midtbø (born in 1997) in Monstrosities, which aims to embrace that which is inappropriate and ambiguous, turn this into something physical and showcase it in a monstrous choreography for multiple dancers.
