BISTAKI, THE BAÏNA TRAMPA FRITZ FALLEN. SE SIDE 36. KJÆRE PUBLIKUM! Den årlige NonStop International Theatre Festival er tilbake. Samarbeidet mellom festivalen, Østfold Kulturutvikling, Scenekunst Østfold, DKS og In Situ Focus program gir et tydelig preg. Endelig kan vi presentere en egenproduksjon; det første større samarbeidet mellom Scenekunst Østfold, NonStop Festivalen og Parkteatret AS. Odysseen er den norske utgaven av den engelske teatergruppen Theatre Ad Infinitums internasjonale monster-hit, hvor Homers epos blir kondensert ned til en drøy times monolog på speed. Det er engelskmennene selv som har regien, og på scenen står Silje Torp (kjent fra Lilyhammer, Dag og Underholdningsavdelingen). Forestillingen har urpremiere under festivalen, og vil turnere nasjonalt i 2016 og 2017. In Situ Focus Program muliggjør å hente inn eksklusive og kostbare produksjoner. Takket være Østfold Kulturutvikling og James Moores arbeid over tid på internasjonale arenaer fikk VELKOMMEN TIL ÅRETS NONSTOP-FESTIVAL vi ifjor se Cooperatzia med Le G. Bistaki i en fantastisk forestilling. I år kommer de tilbake med The Baïna Trampa Fritz Fallen. Også dette spilles i de fantastiske omgivelsene på Verket. Det er bare å skaffe seg billett. Den Kulturelle Skolesekken (DKS) er en av de viktigste kulturbærerne Norge har. Vi er glade for at DKS bruker Parkteatret i dagene før den offisielle åpningen av NonStop Festivalen til å samle omlag 5000 barn fra hele Østfold for å se en moderne danseversjon av Askeladden og de gode hjelperne, Abcense Crew. Noe av det aller viktigste vi gjør under festivalen er å gi barn gode kulturelle opplevelser til både inspirasjon, ettertanke og underholdning. Festivalen har stor bredde som vanlig. Fra det bredeste brede - forestillinger med Wenche Myhre eller Sigrid Bonde Tusvik, via familievennlige forestillinger som Paolo Nanis Small Catastrophes, til eksperimentell dans fra tsjekkiske Spitfire Company. Vi er også glade for å ha med 4 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 kritikerroste Statsteatret som kommer med 1066 - Slaget ved Stamford Bridge. Det er bare å finlese programmet, finne noe spennende, kanskje utfordre deg selv litt, ta med familie, venner, barn … det er i Moss det skjer disse dagene i september. Per-Olav Sørensen KUNSTNERISK LEDER Vi er inne i vår andre sesong som samarbeidspartner i Non Stop International Theatre Festival, og i år kan Scenekunst Østfold tilby publikum ikke mindre enn fire premierer under festivalen. Årets program er spesielt innholdsrikt, og det er mer enn noen gang før tematisk farget av den tiden vi lever i. Vår samarbeidsproduksjon med festivalen starter med følgende linjer: Ti år med kamper i Troja. Ni års slit for å vende hjem. Forestill deg å være hjemmefra i nitten år… Det eldste heltedikt i den europeiske kulturkretsen er Homers Odysseen, og felles for all heltediktning er at de befatter seg med historiske emner hvor hovedpersonen kjemper mot overmakten. Scenekunst Østfolds bidrag er alle nyproduksjoner, og disse er: Odysseen, Lullaby, Lisbet på Jarnfjell, og familieforestillingen Fryktens Fromasj. Alle har som fellesnevner at de handler om de gode kreftenes kamp. I en tid hvor våre humanistiske verdier er satt på prøve daglig, og hvor verdibegreper som dialog, menneskeverd, dannelse, demokrati og den frie kritiske tanke ikke kan få nok oppmerksomhet er det viktig for meg at deler av årets program reflekterer et ønske om å gi nettopp disse verdiene en sentral og aktiv plass både i kunsten og i dagliglivet. Det er ekstra verdifullt for oss at vi har utøvere som deltar gjennom EU-programmene og EEA-tilskuddene i år, ettersom disse tiltakene har som grunn verdi å fremme demokrati og samarbeid på tvers av lande grenser. Vårt InSitu Focusprogram blir gjennomført for første gang, og her vil kultur arbeidere og publikum i regi onen få mulighet til å oppleve et mangfold av europeiske samtidsimpulser. Scenekunst er samhandling, og for oss som fylkeskommunal virksomhet er det å skape gode vilkår for samarbeid viktig. Det er derfor på sin plass å takke alle enkeltpersonene, kommunene, næringslivet og de frie gruppene som gjør det mulig for oss i Scenekunst Østfold å presentere et så mangfoldig program.

KREATIV ARENA Kreativ Arena er en årlig nettverkssamling for rektorer, lærere og kulturkontaktelever ved alle grunn- og videregående skolene i Østfold, samt representanter for kulturskoler, kommuner og ulike kulturinstitusjoner. Programmet utarbeides og ledes av Kulturformidling Østfold som er en underavdeling av Østfold Kulturutvikling. Hensikten med Kreativ Arena er at innholdet i, og gjennomføringen av, Den kulturelle skolesekken skal informeres om, diskuteres i plenum og gjennom utvalgte produksjoner også evalueres. Årets Kreativ Arena er lagt til Moss, og i samarbeid med NonStop-festivalen vises forestillingen Askeladden på Parkteateret. Det vil også være presentasjoner av forestillingen Forbrytelse og straff og Fryktens Fromasj. Det gis også et spesialtilbud for deltagere på Kreativ Arena til festivalens åpningsforestilling Odysseen med Silje Torp.

Årets samproduksjon med Nonstop-festivalen er en mektig monolog basert på det engelske Theatre Ad Infinitums bearbeidelse av Odysseen. Dette er teater i sin reneste form: En skuespiller alene på scenen gjenskaper alle dramatiske hendelser i Odysseen. Gjennom historiefortelling, stemmebruk, lys og et stort register av fysiske utrykk, gjenskapes historien i en nær og spennende form. Utøver Silje Torp er en av Norges mest profilerte komikere, og i denne forestillingen får man se hele bredden av hennes talent. UTØVER : SILJE TORP REGI: GEORGE MANN OG NIR PALDI / THEATRE AD INFINITUM OVERSETTELSE: KRISTOFER BLINDHEIM GRØNSKAG Theatre Ad Infinitum reinvent the timeless Greek myth with Silje Torp. One actor.

BABA ISRAELUS THE SPINNING WHEEL HIPHOP-TEATER Jeg vil gjøre min fars filosofi om til en praktisk verktøykasse som kan brukes til å gjøre verden til et bedre sted å leve. - BABA ISRAEL The Spinning Wheel er et internasjonalt samarbeid mellom hiphopteaterutøveren Baba Israel og den kunstneriske leder ved teateret Unfinished Business, Leo Kay. Forestillingen er en hyllest til Steve Ben Israel, en av grunnleggerne av det sagnomsuste Living Theatre. Steve Ben Israel var jazzmusiker, standupkomiker og aktivist. I en kombinasjon av tekst, video og levende musikk fremført av Yako 440, er dette en forestilling som handler om det unike livet, og idealene Steve Ben Israel levde for. En nær forestilling med hiphop i kombinasjon med videoprojeksjoner. Hiphop-teater er samtidsteater som bruker én eller flere av hiphopkulturens fire elementer i sin formidling; breakdance, graffiti, rapping, DJ-ing. Elementer som spoken word, beatboxing og annen hiphopdans enn breaking kan også være med. UTØVER: BABA ISRAEL REGI: LEO KAY MUSICAL DIRECTOR: YAKO440 VIDEO ARTIST: RICHARD RAMCHURN (ALBINOMOSQUITO) VISUAL ARTIST: ERIC DROOKER Jazz musician, beat poet, stand-up comic, political activist and core member of the iconic Living Theatre, Steve Ben Israel passed in 2012, leaving behind a legacy, a story and a family. He used his art to speak out against injustice and to try and find humour in the madness of modern America, and he inspired Baba to do the same. Leo and Baba decided to make the show to celebrate his unique life and the powerful ideals he lived by, re-imagining his story through a combination of hip hop, intimate performance, live music and video interaction. 16 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 XXXX ONSDAG 16 SEPTEMBER 21:00 MOMENTUM KUNSTHALL OBS!

Theirs is a generous, theatrical art that they often describe as a “tool”, a bracing alternative to the totemic object. – BEN BEAUMONT-THOMAS, THE GUARDIAN Kunstnerduoen Lundahl & Seitl utforsker rom, tid og persepsjon i stadig større installasjoner. Alltid med nærhet til et spesifikt mediums historie og institusjonalisering i museer, gallerier, teatre og funne steder. Deres prosjekter spenner over arkitektur, kognitiv nevrologi, klassisk musikkteater og opplevelsesdesign. Til Momentum 8 har Lundahl & Seitl tilpasset et tidligere arbeid; Symphony of a Missing Room. Det er et sammensatt kunstverk som reflekterer rundt museet som fenomen. Gjennom å alltid respondere til vertsinstitusjonen skal denne versjonen snu blikket innover og mot seg selv. Med bind for øynene fratas betrakteren den direkte visuelle observasjon, og tvinges til å overveie tidligere minner og erfaringer gjennom kroppens hukommelse – til en personlig projisering av omgivelsene. The artist duo Lundahl & Seitl investigate space, time and perception in increasingly large-scale installations, always in proximity to the history of a specific medium and its institution. The commission for Momentum 8 is an adaptation of a previous work titled Symphony of a Missing Room. It is a composite artwork reflecting the museum as a phenomenon. The blindfolding goggles deprive direct visual observation and thus prompt visitors to reconsider past events from lived experience, from their body memory, into a personal projection of their present surroundings. 18 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 FOTO: LOULOU D’AKI TORSDAG 17 SEPTEMBER FREDAG 18 SEPTEMBER VERKET 50 MINUTTER 200,-/100,ANBEFALT FOR ALLE WORK IN PROGRESS FLAMENCOKLASSEN DANS/TEATER Work in progress Flamencoklassen tar opp de viktige tingene i livet: Hvor mange flamencodansere går det i en barselgruppe?

Inne i dette «akvariumet» er to kvinnelige dansere, strippet ned til deres dyriske essens, og et tre. Gjennom Animal Exitus uforsker det prisbelønte tsjekkiske Spitfire Company de fem stadier som mennesket gjennomgår under traumatiske opplevelser: sjokk, sinne, forhandling, depresjon og aksept eller resignasjon. Forestillingen er en usminket gransking av hvordan vi kjemper for vår verdighet under livets mest prøvende, og ofte transformerende, situasjoner. Publikum bærer trådløse hodetelefoner og beveger seg fritt rundt denne rå og sårbare performanceinstallasjonen. Ta med paraply i tilfelle regn, da forestillingen krever at du bærer hodetelefoner. On the lawn of the baroque-style garden of the Alby Estate stands an enormous glass box. In this ‘aquarium’ are two dancers, stripped to their animalistic essence, and a tree. This award-winning Czech ensemble explores the five stages that humans undergo as a result of traumatic experiences: shock, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance or resignation. Animal Exitus examines how we struggle to preserve our dignity during life’s most trying, and often transformative, situations. The audience wears wireless headphones and moves freely around this raw and vulnerable performance installation. Bring umbrella if raining as the performance requires that you wear headphones. 24 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 XXXX TORSDAG 17 SEPTEMBER 19:30 LØRDAG 19 SEPTEMBER 15:00 VERKET SCENE 70 MINUTTER 200,-/100,ANBEFALT FOR ALLE SCENEKUNST ØSTFOLD LISBET PÅ JARNFJELL SOLOTEATER Johan Falkberget var en mester i å skrive tekster om de store spørsmål i livet, innenfor en geografisk ramme som var både hard og kald. Hans roman Lisbet på Jarnfjell kom ut i 1915, og hundreårsjubileet blir markert på Røros i oktober 2015. Fortellingen foregår på 1800-tallet og preges av de konvensjoner man hadde på den tiden, både i forhold til moraloppfatning og gudstro. For Lisbet blir hennes styrke og selvbevissthet et overmot som slår tilbake på henne selv. De to grunnfølelsene i hennes liv, æren og kjærligheten, blir kløvet, og det hele utvikler seg til en uløselig konflikt. Hvis en ikke aner rekkevidden av sine egne følelser vil det lett føre til fall og ulykke. Lisbets nedvurdering av kjærligheten uthuler hennes sterke og sunne karakter, og forvandler henne til et vesen som ødelegger både seg selv og andre. Den makt kjærligheten har over henne, gjør at hennes andre gode egenskaper smuldrer bort. UTØVERE: IDA FREDERIKSEN DRAMATISERING: IDA FREDERIKSEN REGI: KJELL MOBERG This monologue is a dramatization of Johan Falbergets novel Lisbet på Jarnfjell first published in 1915. Thru storytelling, music and close interaction with the audience the performer Ida Frederiksen bring us back to the remote areas of Norway with a story about love and survival. 26 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 XXXX TORSDAG 17 SEPTEMBER 21:00 FOTO: JAMES MOORE VERKET PROGRAM ONSDAG 16.

WWW.SPITFIRECOMPANY.CZ ...physically challenging performance loaded with imaginative movement and abstract physicallity that unearths the existential depths of the human body and psyche. - VLADIMIR HULEC, THEATRE TIMES Boksing er den primære metaforen i denne solo danseforestillingen som undersøker menneskers indre kamp med Parkinsons sykdom. Gjennom hypnotiske bølger av stemme og lyd skal en kvinne kjempe alene, gjennom uttmatelse og kollaps, i en personlig boksering som blir en metafysisk tilstand. Forestillingen iscenesettes i en av de eldste bygningene i den nedlagte Peterson-fabrikken. Bygningens forfalne tilstand styrker det tematiske innhold i stykket, mens et unikt publikumsforhold til scenen gir et annerledes perspektiv på den objektifiserte kroppen i kamp med seg selv. Samarbeidet mellom danser Markèta Vacovská og vokalist Lenka Dusilová har både vunnet og blitt nominert til en rekke internasjonale priser. Boxing is the primary metaphor in this solo dance performance exploring humans’ internal struggle with Parkinson’s disease. Amid hypnotic waves of voice and sound a woman fights alone, through exhaustion and collapse, in a personal boxing ring that becomes a metaphysical condition. The performance will be staged in one of the oldest buildings of the former Peterson factory. The buildings deteriorating condition underscores the thematic intentions of the work, while the unique relationship between audience and stage provide an alternative perspective toward the objectified body in battle with itself. 30 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 FOTO: MARTIN MARAK XXXX TORSDAG 17 SEPTEMBER 21:30 VERKET SCENE 75 MINUTTER 295,-/150,ANBEFALT FOR ALLE STATSTEATRETNO 1066 - SLAGET VED STAMFORD BRIDGE TEATER Statsteatret gir oss nytt, verdifullt, velspilt teater. Det er godt vi skal se mer til dem. - DAGBLADET Statsteatret angriper norgeshistorien og kongesagaene med respektløs dødsforakt. Det du trodde du visste om det berømte slaget kan bli snudd på hodet når de rutinerte skuespillerne går løs på historien som en teatral versjon av Mythbusters. Lever vikingen i oss fremdeles? Dette er en tragikomedie om et av de verste slagene i norsk historie, der 5000 nordmenn mistet livet i forsøket på å erobre England. Historien kretser om dagene før slaget ved Stamford bridge, og vi møter blant annet: En konge, Harald Hardråde, preget av tunge depresjoner. Hans sønn, Olav, som sliter med vektproblem og et alvorlig forhold til Gud. En skald, Tjodolv, som drømmer om å skrive en bestselger i en verden av analfabeter, og en landsforvist engelsk Jarl, Toste, som sliter sosialt og har et mulig rusproblem. Møt fire svette menn som med vekslende imponerende fysikk gir alt for Norge. Velkommen til en drøy time fylt med drama, action, historie, humor, krim og kjærlighet. ADVARSEL: Det vil bli brukt et meget eksplisitt språk, samt menn som kysser. Det vil også bli stekt vafler, hvilket kan medføre stekeos. This story unfolds during the days before the battle of Stamford Bridge. We meet King Harald Hardråde – suffering from a heavy depression. His son, Olav – overweight and with a firm belief in God. A poet, Tjodolv – dreaming of literary fame in a world of illiteracy, and an expatriate English Earl, Toste – socially challenged with a possible drug addiction.

BISTAKIFR THE BAÏNA TRAMPA FRITZ FALLEN SIRKUS, INSTALLASJON Bistaki is an experience. It is a world in itself. An outdoor spectacle of an unprecedented standard... - COBRA.BE (BELGIA) Fjorårets store suksess er tilbake på NonStop og det gamle Petersonanlegget! Le G. Bistaki er et særegent kollektiv fra Toulouse som utforsker forholdet mellom kropp, objekt og rom, på uforutsigbare og forunderlige måter! I fjor tok de med seg tusenvis av takstein og damevesker. I år tar de utgangspunkt i flere tonn genmodifisert mais, snøskuffer og pene hvite dresser. Denne gangen har Bistakis koreografiske og utforskende sirkus funnet en ny rute gjennom det nedlagte fabrikkområdet. Uvanlige lys- og videobilder, fengende musikk og levende tablåer er vesentlige elementer i reisen. Ikke gå glipp av dette morsomme, absurde og poetiske eventyret for hele familien! MOSS KOMMUNE Last year’s great success returns to NonStop festival and the former Peterson factory. Le G. Bistaki is an outlandish collective from Toulouse that explores the relationship between body, object, and space in unpredictable and astounding ways! Last year they arrived with thousands of roof tiles, an assortment of ladies’ handbags and trench coats. This year’s inspiration is drawn from several tons of genetically modified corn, snow shovels, and white dress suits. Armed with these, Bistaki will take their choreographic and investigative circus and embark on an entirely new route through Verket. Uncommon lighting and video imagery, captivating music and living tableaux are central elements on the journey. Don’t miss this humorous, absurd and poetic adventure for the whole family! 36 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 FOTO: ERIK DAMIANO FREDAG 18 SEPTEMBER 20:30 LØRDAG 19 SEPTEMBER 20:00 VERKET CA 60 MINUTTER 200,-/100,FOR UNGDOM, VOKSNE Konserten er en del av Kulturhusnettverk Østfold Musikkserie med støtte fra Norsk kulturråd.

Rommet brukes både som instrument og arena, mens musikerne utforsker dens særegne akustikk. Batagraf-kollektivet er et forum av perkusjonister sprunget ut fra en idé av Jon Balke tidlig på 2000-tallet. Gruppen utforsker grensene til rytmisk musikk, og har skapt en rekke vellykkede prosjekter i Europa, i samarbeid med solister som bl.a. Sidsel Endresen, Arve Henriksen og Nils Petter Molvær. Gjennom studier i Gambia og Senegal har de gått dypt inn i spilleteknikker fra Wolofmusikken, men har hele tiden hatt fokus på å utvikle samtidsmusikk basert på originale idéer. Nå samarbeider Batagraf med et nytt slagverksensemble, Extended Ground. Sammen med vokalist Bjørn Tomren vil de to gruppene dykke inn i et eksplosivt, rytmisk, snublende, rykkete og dynamisk univers. Garantert en minneverdig opplevelse!

RYDH, MAGNUS EIDE OG IVAR M. ASHEIM The collective Batagraf is a forum of percussionists initiated by Jon Balke early in the 2000s that explores the boundaries of rhythmic music. Through studies in Gambia and Senegal they investigated performance techniques from Wolof music, though they have always retained their focus on creating contemporary music based upon original ideas. Together with vocalist Bjørn Tomren and the percussion ensemble Extended Ground they will explore the largest hall of the former paper factory, turning the room itself into an instrument. 38 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 FOTO: JAMES MOORE FREDAG 18 SEPTEMBER 22:30 TILFELDIGE STEDER I BYROMMET I MOSS CA 35 MINUTTER GRATIS ANBEFALT FOR ALLE I samarbeid med Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo. KATRINE KIRSEBOMNO ET PLUTSELIG FALL DANS, STEDSENSITIV Et menneske faller. Er det alvor, en lek, en lettelse? Et fall kan være dramatisk, komisk, uforklarlig. Et fall kan sette spor. Forestillingen leker vilt med fall, og ikke minst hvordan i all verden komme seg opp igjen? Prosjektet er et samarbeid mellom Scenekunst Østfold og videreutdanning i «Scenekunst i offentlig rom» ved Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo. Studiet retter seg mot den «utvidede» forestillingen, et møte mellom kunstnere og publikum rundt et kunstnerisk konsept, en form for aktiv, deltakende publikumsbygging. Denne fremførelsen skal oppstår på tilfeldige steder og tidspunkt i byrommet ved bruk av amatørdansere. På denne måten kan forestillingen oppleves spontant og tilfeldig, og publikumere ikke er klar over at fallet er iscenesatt ved første øyekast. A Sudden Fall — A person falls. Is it serious, a game, a relief? A fall can be dramatic, comical, inexplicable. A fall can leave marks. This performance plays wildly with falling, not least how we shall manage get up again. The project is a cooperation between Scenekunst Østfold and Oslo National Academy of the Arts advanced studies program Performance in Public Space. The studies are directed toward an ‘expanded’ performance, a meeting between artists and audience around an artistic concept, often with a form for active, participatory audience building. This presentation shall occur unannounced at random places in the city center using amateur dancers. In this manner the performance should be experienced spontaneously and coincidentally, with the audience being unaware at first glance that it is being staged. 40 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 FOTO: ÅNUND AUSTENÅ LØRDAG 19 SEPTEMBER TBA CA 60 MINUTTER GRATIS ANBEFALT FRA 10 ÅR WWW.PAOLONANI.COM PAOLO NANIDK/IT JEKYLL ON ICE! KOMEDIE En boblende visuell kommedie, som med varme og humor skildrer forsøket på å skape balanse mellom å være tro mot seg selv, og bli elsket for den man er. I Paolo Nanis Jekyll On Ice! er Jekyll en følsom og innadvendt iskrem selger, som i forsøket på å bryte isen og nå ut av sin sjenanse kommer voldsomt på glattisen. I sin bestrebelse på å finne opp verdens beste is, skjer et uhell. Ingrediensene blandes feil, og ut av det blå kommer hans fandenivoldske motsetning‚ Hyde. Jekyll On Ice! er en boblende visuell komedie, som med varme og humor skildrer forsøket på å skape balanse mellom å være tro mot seg selv og å bli elsket for den man er. Med visuell poesi, fysiske gags, enorme ballonger og en sjarmerende isvogn kombinerer Paolo Nani sin erfaring fra klovnens univers med interaktivt teater i byrommet. Publikum følger Paolo Nanis sprelske twist på kjente figurer, underholdes og inviteres med i en lekende musikalsk forestilling - som slutter med en isfest for alle. Paolo Nanis fun, round figure, Jekyll, is an ice-cream salesman, with his very own way of doing business. Whether the ice cream melts, or the air leaks out of the balloons, the audience is guaranteed surprises and laughter! Paolo Nani brings a fully equipped ice-cream cart with giant speakers, smoke machine and air pump that can shoot 2.000 litres of air per minute. The heart of the performance lies in the playful way in which Paolo Nani and the audience interact to create the magic together. 42 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 FOTO: SØREN MEISNER LØRDAG 19 SEPTEMBER 13:00 VERKET SCENE CA 50 MINUTTER 200,-/100,ANBEFALT FOR ALLE Forestillingen er utviklet av Robsrud & DeaN, og er produsert av Scenekunst Østfold. WWW.ROBSRUDOGDEAN.COM ROBSRUD & DEANNO/UK FRYKTENS FROMASJ FIGURTEATER Uno bor i en koffert og idag er det vaskedag. Mens han driver og henger opp vasken får han øye på en rotte jakten rundt i salen begynner! Dette leder ham over i historien om da Ondskapens rotte truet det magiske landet, Silverdalen. Figurene oppstår mens Uno forteller, men de oppfører seg ikke alltid slik han vil – de er uenige om hva som egentlig skjedde eller de ønsker å stå fram i et bedre lys, etc. Fortellingen om den senile Kong Sølve, den slemme kokken Herr Punk og den muntre hjelpegutten Fred undersøker forholdet mellom dukkespiller og dukke – hvem styrer hvem? Forestillingen er inspirert av den klassiske «Punch and Judy»-formen, en forestillingsform som har vært elsket av barn og voksne i flere hundre år. Vi ønsker å bruke styrkene ved denne formen, i modernisert versjon, til å skape en magisk teaterforestilling som engasjerer og morer et moderne publikum på en helt ny måte. UTØVER: GEIR ROBSRUD REGI: KENNETH DEAN Keneth Dean and Geir Robsrud have made puppetry for many many years, and for many more years they have also been trying to finish the story about the boy that is ready to give what it takes to save the world that he loves.

At katastrofene kommer i stimer? Mens vi må akseptere små katastrofer i hverdagen, er teateropplevelsen annerledes - styrt av total kontroll av scenens virkemidler, kroppen og teknikken. Men allikevel går det galt: Den stakkars skuespilleren i Små katastrofer blir utsatt for alle ulykker som kan ramme en forestilling. Mikrofoner virker ikke, rekvisitter blir glemt eller går i stykker, lamper faller ned, feil musikk, feil tekst, et jordskjelv rammer teatret - og andre små katastrofer. Resultatet er et uimotståelig stykke komisk metateater. Ulykkene velter inn over ham, ender som katastrofer - eller som en befrielse fra hver dagens kjedsomhet. Paolo Nani feirer hverdagens heltemot. Vi holder fast ved målet, og fortsetter på tross av hverdagens små katastrofer og vår umulige skjebne. The performance is blurring the boarders between the personal and the performer. Small Catastrophes is based on Paolo Nanis own personal manias and fixations. The kind of tics we all know and believe that we are the only ones in the world to suffer from, but which are actually common to most parts of humanity. 46 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 FOTO: JULIE XXXX FORCHAMMER LØRDAG 19 SEPTEMBER 18:00 FRA SPITFIRE COMPANY ONE STEP BEFORE THE FALL, SIDE 32.

Hvordan er det å være på flukt for eget liv? Et endeløst løp mot en usikker fremtid. I Norge bor titusenvis av mennesker som vet hvordan dette kjennes på kroppen og i sjelen. I Sniper’s Lake forsøker Spitfire Company å komme i kontakt med denne redselen, denne opplevelsen av å løpe med håp om et bedre og tryggere liv. Med norske og tsjekkiske dansere trer de ydmykt frem i dette følsomme terrenget. Forestillingen iscenesettes i en av de gamle Peterson fabrikkbygningene på Verket, for å sette forestillingen, og publikum, i et annet kontekstuelt forhold til tematikken. Publikum deles i to, hvorav halvparten ser forestillingen fra perspektivet til en snikskytter, og de resterende plasseres i skytterens siktlinje sammen med danserne. Det blir en eksperimentell bruk av lokalet for å forsterke forståelsen for situasjoner i vår samtid. What is it like to flee for your life? An endless sprint toward an uncertain future? There are thousands of people living in Norway who know how this feels in their bodies and souls. In Sniper’s Lake Spitfire Company endeavors to come in contact with this fear, this experience of running with hope for a better and safer life. The performance will be presented in one of the former Peterson factory buildings. The extreme choice of staging will place the performance and the audience in a different contextual relationship. Use of radically divided levels will offer some spectators the perspective of the sniper, while others will find themselves in the line of fire. 54 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015 FOTO: VOJTĚCH BRTNICKÝ LØRDAG 19 SEPTEMBER 22:30 57 —— IN SITU 2015 FOTO: ESPEN SCHEI WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS PERFORMING IN LE G.

We begin with the very broad stroke of Strategies for Art in the Public Realm. This encompasses several rich and complex themes. We will not come close to exhausting them, but will rather initiate dialogues within the regional context of Østfold that may be continued during the years to come. This also provides an opportunity to introduce the IN SITU network to a broader spectrum of audiences, artists, and cultural operators. We are very fortunate to have the participation of artistic directors from four IN SITU members. With support from the IN SITU Platform they will share their experiences and methods, examining creative processes for producing and presenting art in the public contexts of urban and industrial settings as well as the natural landscape. They 4 —— IN SITU 2015 will also help us to identify possibilities within our own region. In Moss, as in much of Norway, these radically different environments are found in near proximity. Our featured IN SITU artist is the French collective G. Bistaki, who will present their newest work, The Baïna Trampa Fritz Fallen, at Verket, the former paper factory that will be host to several Focus productions. We will also discuss future projects of IN SITU artists Kitt Johnson and Lundahl & Seitl. These will be complimented by variety of productions and conversations that explore divergent aspects of sitebased art that addresses itself to public space(s) of differing character. A significant part of this Focus program will be devoted to the question of whether Verket Moss could be home to Norway’s first National Center for Creation of Art in Public Space. The requirements and success factors for a residency center of this kind are very different from that of a conventional performing arts venue. Through dialogues, site-visits, and a dynamic combination of artistic occupations we will explore the possibilities in such an enterprise. The artistic programme for this Focus is made possible through cooperation with NonStop International Theatre Festival, Momentum 8 - Nordic Biennial of Contemporary Art, and Verket Moss. Financial support for these productions is provided by the municipality of Moss, the county of Østfold, Arts Council Norway, EEA Grants, and the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. It is a privilege to select productions from NonStop festival and Momentum 8 that illustrate different approaches to this way of working and I hope you will find the experience rewarding. Enjoy!

Vi begynner med en rik palett av strategier for kunst i det offentlige rom. Dette omfavner flere komplekse temaer. Vi kommer ikke til å utdebattere disse, men heller etablere dialoger innen den regionale konteksten av Østfold som kan fortsette i årene fremover. Dette gir også anledning til å introdusere nettverket IN SITU til et bredere publikum, kunstnere og kulturfagpersoner. Vi er så heldige at fire kunstneriske ledere fra fire IN SITU-medlemsorganisasjoner deltar. Med støtte fra IN SITU Europeiske Platform vil de formidle erfaringer og metoder, og undersøke kreative prosesser for produksjon og formidling av kunst i offentlige kontekster av byrom og industrilokaler, samt naturlanskapet. Denne deltagelsen vil også hjelpe oss å se muligheter i vår 6 —— IN SITU 2015 egen region. I Moss, som ofte ellers i Norge, lever radikalt forskjellige miljøer i nær avstand til hverandre. Vår hoved IN SITU-kunstner er det franske ensemble G. Bistaki. De skal vise deres nyeste performanceinstallasjon, The Baïna Trampa Fritz Fallen, på Verket, den tidligere Peterson papirfabrikk som også er vertskap for flere IN SITU Fokus produksjoner. Vi vil få presentert fremtidige prosjekter av IN SITUkunstnere Kitt Johnson, og Lundahl & Seitl. Disse blir fulgt av et mangfold av produksjoner og samtaler som utforsker vidt forskjellige egenskaper av stedsbasert kunst i offentlige rom av varierende karakter. En vesentlig del av programmet omhandler spørsmålet om hvorvidt Verket Moss kan være hjem til Norges første nasjonale senter for produksjon av kunst i det offentlige rom. Kravene og suksessfaktorene til denne form for residenssenter er veldig annerledes enn et teater eller et kulturhus. Gjennom dialoger, befaringer og en dynamisk sammensetting av kunstneriske okkupasjoner skal vi undersøke mulighetene som ligger i et slikt initiativ. Det kunstneriske IN SITU Fokus-programmet er mulig gjennom et samarbeid med NonStop International Theatre Festival, Momentum 8 - Nordiske biennial for samtidskunst, og Verket Moss. Økonomiske støtte for produksjonene kommer fra Moss kommune, Østfold fylkeskommune, Norsk kulturråd, EEA Grants og Kreativt Europa-programmet av Det europeiske union. Det er et privilegium å velge produksjoner fra NonStop festivalen og Momentum 8 som illustrerer ulike tilnærminger til denne form for kunstneriske arbeid og jeg ønsker dere en rik opplevelse.

Established in 2003 and coordinated by Lieux Publics in Marseille, France, the network has 21 members in 14 countries. The membership represents a diverse cross-section of practices and intentions, operating in widely divergent contexts from large cities to small towns, industrial environments to natural landscapes. The primary actions of IN SITU include co-production and circulation of artistic works, hothouses and laboratories to identify emerging artists and develop new ideas, professional seminars, residencies, and communication. www.in-situ.info 12 —— IN SITU 2015 Emerging Spaces IN SITU is dedicated to identifying emerging artists, ideas for new artistic projects, and fostering the development of both. In order to facilitate these ambitions IN SITU organizes artistic seminars and laboratories, and will focus increasingly on innovative residency models during the coming years. These nurture the entire creative process from germinal idea to adaptive interventions. Emerging Spaces and Writing Side by Side are a series of artistic seminars that bring together artists and artistic programmers. These gatherings recognize the close partnership that is required when producing and presenting site-based artistic works. During these seminars, each artistic programmer presents one artist, who again presents one new idea that is still in its developmental phase. These are then systematically workshoped by all present over the course of several days together in an isolated location. It should be noted that there are no obligations to realize the ideas presented, which contributes to genuinely open investigations. Yet a great many IN SITU productions have grown out of the work done during these seminars. Three examples of this process will be presented, in three different stages of development, as part of the Focus programme. Florent Bergal of G. Bistaki was presented by Daniel Andrieu of L’Atalier 231 at the Writing Side by Side seminar in Stirling, Scotland in 2014, where he shared the plans for The Baïna Trampa Fritz Fallen. Kitt Johnson was presented during the same seminar by Trevor Davies of KIT (Københavns Internationale Teater). A local version of her project Mellemrum has been commissioned by Scenekunst Østfold for Moss during NonStop International Theatre Festival in 2016. cooperation with Momentum 8, to present the germinal idea for Journey to the Center of the Earth during the Emerging Spaces seminar earlier this year at La Venaria Reale in Italy. This idea builds upon the work Lundahl & Seitl have been doing with Symphony of a Missing Room, which is available for experiencing during the Focus programme as part of Momentum 8 - Nordic Biennial for Contemporary Art. The prospect for a co-production within the network is currently under discussion. During the coming years, IN SITU will move toward a sequence of seminar and laboratory activities, whereby the first stage is the exploration of new ideas, the second stage is intensive project development in small groups, the third stage is a series of residencies, and the final stage is circulation of the produced works. The precise nature of project development will be tailored to the needs of the artists and partners involved. Christer Lundahl was invited by James Moore of Scenekunst Østfold, in IN SITU 2015 —— 13 Consorzio La Venaria Reale, Italian IN SITU member and host of Emerging Spaces artistic seminar in March 2015. Photo: James Moore. Lundahl & SeitlSE - Siting Work in the Cognitive Realm The artist duo Lundahl & Seitl offer an alternative per spective on site-based artistic works. Their performances provoke us to examine the nature of our perceptions by siting the work in the cognitive mechanisms of the spectatorparticipants. This brings about a co-authorship of the work as the participants’ subconscious project indi vidualized content into their experience of the external site. Symphony of a Missing Room is a guided museum tour where the visitors depart on both a collective and an extremely personal journey. Via wireless headphones, a voice takes visitors, led by performers, on an itinerary that traverses layers of physical and imaginary archi tecture of the museum and its 83 —— IN SITU 2015 curatorial space. By the use of multi-sensory illusions and binaural sound recordings the visitor’s attention is steered away from the visible and tangible world and diverted into a new perception of the self, time and space. The commission for Momentum 8 is an adaptation of this work. It is a composite artwork reflecting the muse um as a phenomenon. Always responding to its current host, this version turns its gaze inwards and looks back at itself. The blindfolding goggles deprive direct visual observation and thus prompt visitors to reconsider past events from lived experience, from their body memory, into a personal projection of their present surroundings. In March, Scenekunst Østfold curator/producer James Moore invited Christer Lundahl to the IN SITU Emerging Spaces artistic seminar organized by Consorzio La Venaria Reale in Italy. The loose theme for the seminar was Site-sensitive works for public space. The invitation to Lundahl & Seitl was to develop a new idea that would continue their exploration of cognitive processes by extending the experience into a landscape context. This resulted in the concept for Journey to the Center of the Earth (working title), a collaboration between artists Martina Seitl and Christer Lundahl, a geologist, a future forecasting company, environmental specialist and a neurologist investigating perception of time. There exists a disconnection between human and geo logical time. Humans have trouble visualizing time intervals that are larger than their life span. Geological time is unseen, un-perceived and unfelt by humans. This is ‘the experience gap’. Lundahl & Seitl will attempt to bring visitors into a state of mind, an experience where they can more easily visualize and physically understand geological time. Using their previous methods (such as choreographed touch, 3D sound, site-specific recordings, and suggestive instructions), they will experiment with extending these into the landscape. IN SITU 2015 —— 15 Photo: Loran Chourrau Le G. BistakiFR - Featured IN SITU Artist The French collective G. Bistaki is a choreographic and investigative circus whose work adapts itself uniquely to the physical and social features of the space it occupies. Based in Toulouse, France, G. Bistaki emerged by chance rather than design, growing from a need to experiment with alternative methods for creative development and expression. Their initial gatherings were intended as playful relief and free experimentation in between other projects. Yet from this emerged a distinctive style of work combining the plastic and the performative in a charismatic manner of presentation. G. Bistaki’s work is formed around the concept of continuous exploitation of a given object by the body in a given space. The environment, whether indoor or outdoor, urban or rural, is their stage. As every meeting is unique, the work consists of modular 81 —— IN SITU 2015 scenarios whose composition is tailored in response to the site(s). Their scenographic designs are the product of a plastic installation in-situ, depicting a surreal world in a common place. The primary mode of expression grows out of the triangular relationship of body-object-space. The body becomes the motor for research and expression, as the performers integrate strategies of circus, with its quest for the impossible, dance and its virtuosity, and physical theatre for its power of conveying emotions. The use of objects as elements for costumes impacts character development while expressing obscure intentions and influencing behaviour. Video, sound and lighting are also integral elements that further shape and define the work. Cooperatzia (The Trail) was the first artistic intervention presented by Scenekunst Østfold as a member of IN SITU. This was a large-scale occupation of Verket, the decommissioned Peterson paper factory in Moss, and was featured during NonStop International Theatre Festival in September 2014. A select ion of excerpts was later presented by Scenekunst Østfold during the European Heritage Awards at Oslo City Hall in June 2015. Since its inception, Cooperatzia has been staged more than a hundred times in 15 countries. G. Bistaki’s newest work, The Baïna Trampa Fritz Fallen is featured in NonStop International Theatre festival, and a central component of Scenekunst Østfold’s IN SITU Focus program. This time Bistaki will animate a completely different area of Verket, further demonstrating how both artists and sites can inform and define each other through their encounters. As with Cooperatzia, Bistaki will again lead several days of workshops with local amateurs, integrating them into the performance as living tableaux. www.bistaki.com See page 36 in NonStop program for details IN SITU 2015 —— 17 Photo: Per Morten Abrahamsen Kitt JohnsonDK – Mellemrum Scenekunst Østfold has commissioned Kitt Johnson to lead the creation of a Mellemrum Encounter, which will be presented as an IN SITU production during NonStop International Theatre Festival in 2016. The Mellemrum Encounter concept springs from the sitespecific Mellemrum Festival, a biennale that Kitt Johnson arranged and curated four times between 2008 and 2014 in various neighbourhoods of Copenhagen. This is a process whereby Kitt enters into close collaborations with local and international artists, creating local miniature performance festivals consisting of guided urban walks and site-specific performances. Each walk consists of three performances in which the artists give their own interpretation of a personally selected site. The idea of Mellemrum encounter is, among other things, to offer a space 18 —— IN SITU 2015 and a platform for artistic exchange. Furthermore, the activities are locally rooted and created in close dialogue with the residents of the selected area. The concept is characterised by a high degree of reciprocity and curiosity, both artistically and culturally, and the purpose is not merely to produce art but also to facilitate encounters between artists as well as between artists and residents. The results take the shape of highly unusual urban walks, during which the audience experiences a part of the city or local area from novel angles. The Mellemrum guides lead the audience through hidden and forgotten, known and unknown places. This enables both the audience and local residents a chance to experience their surroundings through a performative lens – and possibly to rediscover the extraordinary in the ordinary. will get to know the local area and participate in the selection of local artists. Then Kitt uses various methods – laboratories, workshops, masterclasses, etc. – to work deep into the site-specific with the selected artists. In the final phase the creation is a cooperation between Kitt and the artists. The Østfold project consists of 4 phases: 1) Sept 2015: site-visits and meeting with local artists 2) Oct 2015: 1 week of research in Moss 3) May 2015: 2-week lab, local and international artists 4) Sept 2016: Presentation of Mellemrum Encounter www.kittjohnson.dk No two Mellemrum encounters are the same, as the form and content will be adapted to local needs and conditions. There will always be, however, an introductory research phase, where Kitt IN SITU 2015 —— 78 Photo: James Moore. Spitfire CompanyCZ - A Trilogy in Three Sites Spitfire Company is one of the most progressive ensembles in the Czech Republic, creating challenging and innovative physical, visual and dance theatre. Their work is characterized by a search for an original physical language, which is formed in relation to the thematics for each performance. This frequently takes the form of a condition that arises while confronting human’s limitations in demanding, existential situations. In 2014 Spitfire Company was selected as one of the Aerowaves Twenty, a prestigious recognition of the most promising emerging choreographers in Europe. Supported by EEA Grants/ Norway Grants, and in cooperation with NonStop International Theatre Festival, Gallery F15, and Verket Moss, we are able to stage three of the company’s performances in unique, 77 —— IN SITU 2015 site-sensitive contexts. The performances form a trilogy that explores human’s reactions to traumatic life situations. By using carefully selected locations we seek to underscore the conceptual intentions that lie in each work. This includes both the physical characteristics of the site as well as the relationship between performance and audience. Through this we hope to provide more nuanced insight into the company’s challenging, experimental work. Animal Exitus will be staged in the baroque-styled garden of Gallery F15 on the Alby Estate. One Step Before the Fall and Sniper’s Lake will both be presented at Verket, though in different buildings of the former paper factory. Together they will offer diverse examples of how artistic works created for the theatre can find new layers of meaning and associations in their encounter with sites that have histories and intentions of their own. www.spitfirecompany.cz IN SITU 2015 —— 21 Paranoia - Internet as Public Space Valia FetisovRU, Dzina ZhukBY and Nicolay SpesivtsevBY Photo: Rudi Skotheim Jensen Elven & Havet - A Maritime Circus Det lille mekaniske loppe sirkuset is a recently established ensemble under the artistic leadership of director Rudi Skotheim JensenNO. Elven & Havet (The River and the Sea) will be a family performance employing circus as the primary expression. The ensemble is taking its inspiration from the Norwegian maritime atmosphere, the stories and materials used in life by the water. From this they will 22 —— IN SITU 2015 embark on creative research into the absurd. They will offer the audience a visual journey into play and fantasy as they somersault into an old and robust culture of fishermen and sails. Elven & Havet is a coproduction with Scenekunst Østfold and Bærum kulturhus, and will be presented at NonStop International Theatre Festival in 2016. A weeklong Scratch laboratory was facilitated by Scenekunst Østfold in June of 2015. Together with aerial acrobat Karoline AamåsNO and scenografer Camilla Wexels RiserNO, Jensen experimented with materials and techniques. They will present a short, site-sensitive adaptation of this work during the tour of Verket on Friday. Jensen comes from Saltnes in Østfold. He is educated as a director at the circus school ESAC in Belgium, and further educated at Norwegian Theatre Academy in Fredrikstad. He has produced and toured his work internationally, including Theatre Works in Singapore, Kwai Tsing Theatre in Hong Kong, Ignite Dance festival in India, along with Dansens Hus in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. Dicsussions of art in the public realm frequently lead to questions about how to dilineate public space. There are questions regarding access and ownership, circumstances whereby the private is (temporarily) made public, and situations where assembly of groups of people in ‘public’ are forbidden. The rise of the internet, ‘smart’ phones, social media, and other information technologies introduce different yet related questions about where the boundaries lie between the private and the public. Indeed, we may speculate whether many individuals are the slightest bit aware of these boundaries and their occasional elusiveness. The Momentum 8 project Paranoia touches upon some of these themes in the spirit of a game; albeit one with profoundly serious implications. Commissioned by Momentum 8, Valia Fetisov, in cooperation with Dzina Zhuk and Nicolay Spesivtsev, has developed an application that visitors can download on their mobile phones, allowing them to follow or “trace” another visitor and in turn being followed themselves by others. The project Paranoia is a social-psychology experiment in the form of mobile application and algorithm of users’ interaction. The application lets visitors explore feelings of paranoia and the uncertainty whether someone is actually watching their moves or not. The work touches upon conspiracy theories and the recent surveillance and data storing scandals by agencies such as NSA. To take part in the experiment you need to install this application on your mobile phone. Every installed application leaks geolocation data of registered user and sends this information to another user that is chosen by algorithm. Thus all participants know from the very beginning that someone may be pursuing them. www.paranoiapp.net IN SITU 2015 —— 23 Thursday 17. September – Galleri F15 Thursday 17.

Kees is now Artistic Director of the Terschellings Oerol Festival. Terschellings Oerol Festival is an annual site-specific theatre festival held on the Dutch island Terschelling in mid-June. Site-specific theatre, theatre in barns, sheds and on the streets, modern dance, opera, visual art, music and the various crossovers are the ingredients of a festival that uses the whole island as its stage. Over the past 30 years, the festival has grown from a small-scale street festival into an internationally valued, multi-disciplinary festival. The development of new work focuses principally on theatre-makers and artists, both from the Netherlands and abroad: residencies for writing and creating new performances, co- productions and a workshop on site-specific theatre for young artists. www.oerol.nl 26 —— IN SITU 2015 Neil ButlerUK Artistic Director, UZ Arts Neil Butler is an artist and producer. He founded Brighton’s Zap Club and moved to Scotland to develop UZ Events as an organisation to deliver largescale festivals and events including Glasgow’s Millennium Celebrations, “Big in Falkirk” -Scotland’s National Street Arts Festival and Glasgow’s Merchant City Festival. Neil has devised and presented cultural programmes for the Scottish Government in Europe, USA and Canada. In 2010 Neil established UZ Arts as an international charity to support artists in creating cross border, cross art-form art in public space. In addition, he is the Director of the Sura Madura international artist residency centre in Sri Lanka and is Co-Director of Colombo Art Biennale. Neil continues to work as an artist performing, directing and creating installations. UZ Arts was established in 2011 as a charity to support every aspect of the creation and distribution of art. It builds upon the legacy of UZ Events established in 1994 to create large-scale festivals and events for Scotland. UZ Arts supports artists who wish to work across borders and artforms, and outside conventional venues through residencies, commissioning, presenting and sometimes touring their work. It commissions through the support of Creative Scotland and as UK representative of the European network IN SITU. The company creates innovative cultural platforms that support partnerships between the public and private sector, the artistic and wider communities. In 2015 UZ Arts launched a new festival platform “Moving Out” that will present programmes of work by IN SITU artists in Scotland and Sri Lanka, where it manages the international artist residency programme at the Sura Medura Centre. www.uzarts.com the deepest layers of human existence. Johnson was recently recognized with a Danish Reumert award as Dancer of the Year for her new solo Post No Bills. Kitt Johnson’s trademark is solo performance, but her repertoire is broad and also includes many ensemble works, New Circus, site-specific work and a production designed for children. She also organises and curates performance festivals, including the sitespecific MELLEMRUM biennale, contributing to her ambition to create a platform from which Danish and international performing arts can engage in dialogue and share experience. www.kittjohnson.dk Kitt JohnsonDK Artist Dancer and choreographer Kitt Johnson is one of a kind on the Danish dance and performance scene. For more than twenty-five years she has been developing her own, very particular, artistic universe; a universe that is at once minimalist, expressive and innovative. Her work is characterized by an extreme body control and a unique feel for simple but effective stage effects, and she uses these effects to create intense, physical and visual transformations that explore Lundahl & SeitlSE Artist duo Christer Lundahl (then a visual artist) formed Lundahl & Seitl in 2003 with Martina Seitl (then a choreographer). Their partnership is a transdisciplinary collaboration that investigates the audience’s perception as the central focus of an artwork. Lundahl & Seitl’s projects epitomize a recent trend in artistic exploration that breaks down the perceived barriers between ‘doing and observing,’ conceiving innovative events that play upon the consciousness and perceptions of the audience. Each project is specific to a particular place and situation, investigating history, time, space and human perception. Lundahl & Seitl aim to integrate the disciplines of science, performance and visual arts by creating situations for joint enquiry. In 2009 the duo were recipients of the Stockholm Art Prize for their work, Symphony of a Missing Room, exhibited at the National Museum of Sweden and commissioned by Weld. They were awarded the Birgit Cullberg Stipend in 2010 as well as the Montblanc Young Directors Award and Edstrandska Stipend for Contemporary Art – both in 2011. Their works have been presented in a variety of arenas, including Bern Biennial, Royal Academy of Arts in London, S.M.A.K. in Ghent, Avignon Festival, Hamburger Kunsthalle (commissioned by Kampnagel), and the Steinway Piano Showroom in London. www.lundahl-seitl.com 2009 and 2014 he was project manager for visual art at Iaspis (the Swedish Arts Grants Committee´s International exchange and residency programme) where he organised numerous public programmes, publications, curatorial visits and facilitated over 200 artists in residence in Sweden and abroad. He has also lectured extensively and curated exhibitions on a freelance basis. He was curator of (I)ndependent People, the visual art focus of Reykjavík Arts Festival 2012, has previously been employed as curator at Moderna Museet and worked at The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.

Lieux Publics is a production centre under the direction of an artist: Pierre Sauvageot, composer and inventor of artistic objects for public space. Lieux publics coordinates the IN SITU European network and its META 2011-2016 - a tailormade accompaniment to artistic creation in public space - and Platform 2014 2017 projects in collaboration with 18 partners hailing from 13 European countries. Lieux publics is Remueméninges where the troupes write their new projects; 30 —— IN SITU 2015 the scenography workshop and sound creation studio; accompaniment for artists from every discipline who make the city the place, object and subject of their works. Lieux Publics is “Sirènes et Midi net” on the first Wednesday of every month: works commissioned from artists; transient participatory interventions; development of new relations with the audiences in Marseille and throughout the region. Lieux publics is a participation in the Carnets de rue collection from L’Entretemps; an annual magazine with the French review Les Inrockuptibles (in collaboration with the members of the IN SITU network); a means of prospecting new relationships between art and the city. Strongly committed to the European framework and constantly renewing its view of public space as a creation site, Lieux publics curated “Champ harmonique” and “Métamorphoses” in 2013, which transformed Marseilles into a wide playground open to artists and in- habitants alike throughout three main sites in the city centre, with Marseille-Provence 2013 European Capital of Culture. It hosted about 120 000 spectators. In 2014, Lieux Publics organised 10 European performances-walks during the Travellings festival in Marseille, and, with the participation of over 200 volunteers, transformed the city in a gigantic domino course made out of 8000 concrete blocks. www.lieuxpublics.com Werner Schrempf AT Artistic Director, La Strada festival Werner Schrempf founded the company „die ORGANISATION“ and has acted in the capacity of creative head and managing director. Its core competence is in the conception and implementation of cultural event and exhibition design from planning and budgeting to communication and overall production management. In 1998 Schrempf designed and developed the international festival “La Strada” in Graz. Street art, puppet theatre, cirque nouveau and community art form today‘s programme content. Since 2008, Werner and his team also organizes the winter festival “Cirque Noël,” staging and coproducing contemporary and unconventional cirque nouveau projects. He is also a founding member and coorganiser of the international network IN SITU. Since 2012, Werner Schrempf is a member of the Advisory Board in the Cultural Department of the province of Styria. The Festival La Strada takes place at the beginning of August for a period of nine days since 1998 and has 140,000 spectators annually. It is the only festival in Austria that collaborates with artists of international renown who seek new forms of expression outside established theatre. During La Strada, questions of co-existence and cooperation, of migration and integration, are all handled with great intensity and intellectual rigour on the performance level. Here it is not about clear artistic statements but rather the illustration of the long- since complete permeation and interweaving of cultures and cultural expression in Europe. The festival helps innovative productions and Austrian artists to develope their projects on the panEuropean festival scene. www.lastrada.at Katrine KirsebomNO Artist Katrine Kirsebom has worked as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher since she completed her education at School for New Dance Development in Amsterdam. She has created a range of works during the past twenty years as independent artists. Katrine has been artistic director for CODA Impro, as part of the CODA Oslo International Dance Festival, presenting improvised dance of a high level. She is the stage arts consultant for The Cultural Rucksack arts-in-schools program for the county of Akershus, and is currently in the advanced studies program for Stage Arts in Public Space at Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Yvonne Wiche LevinsenCH Artist Wiche Levinsen creates physical theatre that focuses on a visual aesthetic with a precise, stylized, physical language. The dramatic characteristics are found in the body’s interaction with scenic objects. Stories unfold in the border between theatre and dance, where scenic elements come to life in the meeting with the performer. This contributes to abstract situations with their own logic, tragicomedy, and challenges. Wiche Levinsen is currently in the advanced studies program for Stage Arts in Public Space at Oslo National Academy of the Arts. IN SITU 2015 —— 31 Saturday 19.

The biennial has since become established as one of the most exciting platforms for contemporary art in the Nordic region. Tunnel Vision The 8th Momentum Nordic Biennial of Contemporary Art explores “tunnel vision” as a cultural and artistic 34 —— IN SITU 2015 condition. Today’s networked culture not only generates hyper-connectivity, but it also produces a range of disconnects that allow people and communities to thrive in their own bubbles. Momentum 8 focuses on artists and cultural producers who inhabit worlds of their own logic and follow through on the ideas that emerge within these contexts.

Verket Moss Verket has a rich and varied history as one of Moss’ cornerstone companies for more than three centuries. First established in 1704 as a timber mill, it was to operate primarily as iron works until 1875. Then it was transformed into M. Peterson & Søn, initially producing sulfate cellulose, and paper from 1896 until bankruptcy in 2012. Höegh Eiendom now owns Verket’s entire area of 268.000m2, with 1.5km of coastline along Oslofjord, leading one of Norway’s largest urban development projects. Verket Arena and Verket Scene are two current initiatives that facilitate a broad spectrum of cultural activities. Punkt Ø - Gallery F15 One of Norway’s oldest art institutions presenting contemporary art, Gallery F15 was established in 1966. The name derives from the address 15 Fossen, the gallery’s first locale. A year later the roof blew off the old mill building and the gallery moved to Alby Estate, the oldest farm on the peninsula of Jeløy with roots dating back to the early Viking era. In recent years, Gallery F15 has developed a profile of exhibitions that emphasize Norwegian, Nordic and International contemporary art, but that also includes contributions of works of more traditional visual arts.
