Dear guest.
The Ballad of Bøler is performed by us and an old horse. We travel in and out of day and night, up and down and flat and steep, eat apples and ancient bread, we dance all kinds of steps about life and death, and carry a lady through distress. We move with pride as dancers and band - in a ballad about doing things hand in hand.

The dance collective Bøler Samvirkelag has invited choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion to a collaboration, where the starting point for the work is Burrows and Fargion's long-standing work with dance as music. In the performance, the performers are both a live band and a dance troupe. In this collaboration between experienced artists, they question individual artistic presence, and work with dance and music as a common action.

In Bøler Samvirkelag+ we take shape as a performer-driven company, where we are the ones who invite choreographers to create works with us. Those we invite will lead us into artistic processes where we can hone in on their practices, methods and approaches. We strive to invite artists/choreographers with widely different practices, artistic interests and aesthetic expression. In 2022 we carried out the project Granddaughters with choreographers Eliisa Erävalo and Halla Ólafsdóttir, a dramatic and theatrical performance with a strong female community both in thematics and on stage.

Bøler Samvirkelag is the dance artists Ingeleiv Berstad, Ida Gudbrandsen, Marie Bergby Handeland, Kristin Ryg Helgebostad, Pernille Holden, Marianne Kjærsund, Sigrid Kopperdal and Venke Marie Sortland. We share an interest in artist-driven processes, self-organization, the relationship between practice and theory, power structures and the redistribution of power, and Bøler Samvirkelag is a place where we can explore this in practice.
