Don*Gnu (DK) WOMAN KNOW YOUR WARDROBE Wednesday 6th at 20:00 (1 hr) Alandica / Big Stage AL Tickets: free/15 € Premiered October 11th 2012 at Bora Bora, Aarhus, Denmark

Woman Know Your Wardrobe (Kvinde Kend Dit Skab) is a comical but sensitive story about two men’s desperate search for a solid place in life and in their relation to the Woman. In confront- ing the Woman, their courage, their sensitivity and lack thereof, Don*Gnu balance a fine line treading the sharp edge of the wardrobe. The questions is: where does the modern man stand today and who decides where the wardrobe should stand?

Don*Gnu is a collaboration between two choreographers Jannik Elkær Nielsen (Don) ja Kristoffer Louis Andrup Pedersen (Gnu), who combine contemporary dance with physical theatre with their dynamic and straightforward, humorous works.

Concept and choreography Jannik Elkær, Kristoffer Louis Andrup Pedersen Performers Jannik Elkær, Kristoffer Louis Andrup Pedersen, Simon Beyer-Pedersen, Rune Kaagaard, Alice Carreri Music Rune Kaagaard, Alice Carreri Video and digital media Christoffer Brekne Scenography Siggi Óli Palmason Light design Per Christian Holck Co-production Bora Bora, Scenkonst Sörmland, Kulturmetroen Supported by Bora Bora, Kulturmetroen, Scenkonst Sörmland, Oxelösund kommune, Kuusakoski Recycling, Aarhus Kommune, Statens Kunstråd, Nordisk Kulturfond, Horsens Kommune, BrilleButikken and Familien Hede Nielsens Fond

HOODS is dealing with the phenomena of The Uncanny Valley – the human response of revul- sion or uncanniness when faced with creatures, which are almost-human looking. Within this, an objective is to create a performance situation in which the boundaries between scenography, choreography, performers and audience disap- pear.

Ingri Fiksdal is one of the most notable choreographers of Norway. Her work has toured extensively internationally in recent years to critical acclaim. HOODS will be traveling to various Nordic festivals in the coming autumn.

A piece about the familiar and the unknown. About people and something else that remains alongside humanity.

“This piece was about making dance of things that are shared around the world wherever we go. I wanted to use my time in the Wilderness to connect with the people that lived in these remote towns and through talking to them make a piece that was about us. I did that and then I got to the end of that and saw that there was also something else that remained or lingered alongside all this humanity and that is where I finished the piece, in the forest.”

Janina Rajakangas lives in London, UK and Turku, Fin- land. She has made various collaborative work with Eu- ropean artists. Her main collaborator for her Wilderness dance piece is Neil Callaghan, a creative and performative UK based artist.

What language and stories are used when writing about dance? What position does, and can dance take in the media as dance criticism slowly looses ground in the daily news outlets? Does this place greater demands on the discourse within the dance community itself? The limits of paradigmatic conceptions of dance criticism and writing will be filtered through close readings of recently published reviews and debate articles on dance in Swed- ish press, relating to both aesthetic and struc- tural issues.

The talk is hosted by ke∂ja Writing Movement, which through an extensive amount of workshops, labs and seminars as well as a call for articles and publishing collaboration has put dance writing on the map in the Nordic and Baltic countries.

Corina Oprea (SE) is a curator and researcher in the fields of visual and performing arts.

During 2012-2015 the keðja Touring Think Tank has been gathering dance centers, festivals and venues from all the Nordic and Baltic countries to specifically think about how to form a network for touring activities.

The closing talk will be looking at the future of networks and their importance for the Nordic-Baltic community. What is the purpose and value of operating as a network? What role do networks play in the envisioned sustainable future of the Nordic-Baltic dance community. Could – or should - keðja organize itself as a formal network in the future?

It is recognized as a pioneering way to explore the unconscious dimensions. The method is most commonly used as a group coaching practice but has been applied to creative think labs and the arts.

Social Dreaming takes place within a Social Dreaming Matrix. Dreams and their fragments are shared and their meaning explored through association, connecting the themes that emerge to give voice to the thoughts that exist in the space between individuals and the shared experience.

Every- one who has an interest in seeds, flowers and the joy of growing plants, is also familiar with the word compost, the necessary rest for nature’s life cycle. Is it a provoking thought that a funding system for contemporary dance also would allow an artistic break? Should it be al- lowed to stop creating yourself and somehow remain in the funding system if you promise to mentor new artists and recycle your accumulat- ed knowledge? Or do all dance artists want to keep their professional secret? Could the idea of “useful compost” be a key to sustainability within contemporary dance?

P.S. Did you know that birch trees actually can kill themselves through excessive pollination? They’re simply too eager to be productive...
