The performance has limited capacity

This project is a starting point in a movement we all share, breathing. Through dance, installation art and electronic music and how roles between performer and audience is sliding and shifting, we hope to move from an I to a we, from individual to community. The project seeks to strengthen the self-esteem through community as a starting point. A multitude of unique breath. The project seeks to create a space where the public will own habits and BREATH conscious, and thereby contribute to greater freedom of action, individually and collectively.

About Haugen Produksjoner

Since then Anne Katrine and Liv Hanne have initiated their own performances, but always in close collaboration with each other. Both have their dance education from London Contemporary Dance School among other places, and have worked in various dance companies in Belgium and the Netherlands. In 1998 Anne Katrine moved back north again, and in 2009 Liv Hanne followed. Haugen Productions is now run from Tromsø where both sisters live.

About Lawrence Malstaf

The work of Lawrence Malstaf (°1972 Belgium) can be situated on the borderline between the visual and the theatrical. He develops installation and performance art with a strong focus on movement, coincidence, order and chaos and a series of sensorial rooms for individual visitors. He also creates larger mobile environments dealing with space and orientation often using the visitor as a co-actor. His projects often involve advanced technology as a point of departure or inspiration but also to activate the installations. Lawrence Malstaf won several international awards in the field of art and new technology and is also known in the dance and theatre world as an innovative scenographer. In 2008 he wins the Witteveen + Bos - prize for Art + Technology (NL), in 2009 he receives the Golden Nica at Prix Ars Electronica (A) and in 2010 he is the winner of the Excellence Prize at The 13th Japan Media Arts Festival in Tokyo (JP). In 2011 his project ‘Pavilion’ is selected for IBBT Art&D-call (iMinds) and in this context he collaborates closely with the Ghent University Multimedia Lab. More recently he won the Hedda Prize in Norway for best scenography. He currently lives and works in Tromsø (Norway), exhibits internationally and works closely together with Galerie Fortlaan 17 since 2002. www.lawrencemalstaf.com
