20. april 2022, Bergen offentlige bibliotek. EN: In their project Gåologi (walkology) the artists wonder about the physical and psychological aspects of walking, what it does to our brain and how it changes our perceptions of the city and of the domestic space. The panelists will discuss points of reflections that came up during their walks, aspects of urban planning, meeting places, and the intersectionality of power relations when walking in the city. How our physical appearance change, how visible or invisible we are, where we can or cannot go, and how we feel at home in the urban space. Speakers: Tina Sinclair together with the artists Alwynne Pritchard and Eva Pfitzenmaier. Moderator: Maud Ceuterick NO: I prosjektet «Gåologi» har kunstnerne undersøkt fysiske og psykiske elementer ved det å gå, hvordan det påvirker hjernen og vår oppfatning av byen og privatsfæren. I denne samtalen vil paneldeltakerne diskutere noen tanker som kom i løpe av disse gåturene, tanker om byplanlegging, møtesteder, samvirket av maktrelasjoner som åpenbarte seg for dem mens de gikk. Hvordan vår fysiske fremferd endrer seg, hvor synlig eller usynlig vi er, hvor vi kan og ikke kan gå, og hvordan vi føler oss hjemme i det urbane rommet. Paneldeltakere: Tina Sinclair sammen med kunstnerne Alwynne Pritchard and Eva Pfitzenmaier. Moderator: Maud Ceuterick…
Kan vitenskapen lære noe av kunsten? Eller har kunsten mer å lære av vitenskapen? Bára Sigfúsdóttir viste forestillingen FLÖKT - a flickering flow på Studio Bergen 25. og 26. mars 2021. Etter siste forestilling inviterte vi til en kunstnersamtale med Bára. I samtalen har vi fått med oss en ekspert på vær og klima, nemlig Thomas Spengler fra Universitetet i Bergen og Bjerknessenteret. Thomas er en meteorolog med fokus på utvikling av lavtrykk og polarmeteorologi samt vekselvirkning med hav og is. Han jobber mest med teori og modeller i sitt fagfelt, men han har også samarbeidet med flere kunstnere i regi av Bjerknessenteret, og vet hvem han snakker til når han snakker med kunstfeltet. En samtale på engelsk om natur, kunst og klima, om hvilken rolle kunsten kan spille i å forstå klimakrisen og hvilken rolle klimaeksperter kan spille i å opplyse kunstnere om virkeligheten. Arrangementet var støttet av Fritt Ord.…
Stains & Platter av Vestland Danseteater vises på USF Verftet 19. og 20. november. Husfilosof Rune Salomonsen har tatt en prat med produsent Charlotte Faaberg-Johansen om hva vi kan forvente i forestillingen, og arbeidet frem mot premieren
Nikulpmyrene er en samværsform, en tilstand av leir, turlag og workshop der publikum inviteres på bålfest for å koke i hop egne og hverandres nervesystem.

Knockouts av Ludvig Uhlbors hadde premiere 13. april, en danseforestilling om Mixed Martial Arts av Ludvig Uhlbors, med to dansere og en billedkunstner. Noen dager før forestillingen hadde vi besøk av Kjetil Kausland, som i 2008 gjennomførte en proff MMA-kamp som kunstverk i gamle Teatergarasjen (No más). Dette var første gang en MMA-kamp ble gjennomført i Norge, og siste forestilling før Teatergarasjen i Nøstegaten ble revet. Her er samtalen om MMA, kunst, politikk og historie. Noe av det som opprinnelig tiltrakk Kausland med denne tilsynelatende brutale sporten, var forsoningen mellom utøverne etter kampen.…
Lecture by Florian Malzacher An assembly in the context of activism is a place of gathering, of building a community, and of experimenting with different procedures of democracy. But recent years also have seen a number of artistic attempts to use the form of assemblies to invent new public spheres. Using the unique possibilities of theatre to create temporary communities, these works not only mirror society but also try out social and political procedures, with which societies can be thought, played, performed, enacted, tested or even invented. The ways how theatre is used for assemblies that give room for radical imagination as well as pragmatic utopias are manifold and not seldom contradictory in their aesthetical as well as their political positions. But what unites them is the aim to expand the field of theatre, to push its very means and possibilities, to find ways of engaging with the social and political issues of our time and by this also giving inspiration to activism and political thinking beyond the artistic realm. Florian Malzacher is a freelance curator, dramaturg and writer. He was co-programmer of steirischer herbst festival in Graz 2006-2012 and Artistic Director of the Impulse Theater Festival (in Düsseldorf, Cologne and Mühlheim/Ruhr) 2013 to 2017. He was co-curator of programs likeTruth is Concrete in Graz (2012), Appropriations (Ethnological Museum Berlin, 2015), Artist Organisations International (HAU Berlin, 2015), Sense of Possibility (St. Petersburg, 2017) or Training for the Future (Bochum, 2019). Florian Malzacher has edited and written numerous books on theatre and performance and on the relationship between art and politics. His latest publication is The Work and Life of Nature Theater of Oklahoma (2019) Photo: Laimonas Puisys / BIT Teatergarasjen…
I dette foredraget presenterer Sara Bruteig Olsen noen utdrag fra sine pågående undersøkelser av den undertrykte og revolusjonære kropp i senmoderne filosofi, og spesielt i Gilles Deleuzes tenkning. Olsen er scenekunstner og har en mastergrad i filosofi. Med utgangspunkt i Deleuzes lesning av Francis Bacons kunst argumenterer hun for at en kropp besitter en særegen innsikt om egendødelighet og sårbarhet, forbundet med kroppens bevegelighet og tyngdekraft som vist i Bacons malerier. Det er denne innsikten som muliggjør en kontakt med nervesystemet, og innehar potensialet for en direkte erfaring av tilblivelsen. Slik kan det sette en i bedre stand til å forholde seg til frigjørende og undertrykkende krefter. Deleuze og hans samarbeidspartner Felix Guattari anvender bildet av et rhizom; en form for underjordisk rotstokk i planteriket, som modell for kreativ tenkning og dannelse i sin egen tekstkropp Tusen platåer. I tråd med rhizomets rotstruktur som vilkårlig og horisontal, vil foredraget veksle mellom ulike plattformer og tema som knytter seg til et hvilket som helst punkt underveis. Det byr ikke på en systematisk eller helhetlig introduksjon til en tenkning, men beveger seg horisontalt og tilfeldig; linjer tegnes opp og antyder stadig nye linjer og brudd i linjer, dramaturgiske irrganger, oppgåtte territorier, og strømninger av impulser, fantasmer og intensiteter. Kroppens erfaring kan forstås å være intelligent og sanselig i deleuziansk forstand. Vi skal her forsøke å nærme oss hva en senmoderne tenkning omkring det kroppslige kan tilby, og hva kroppen kan og vil si om den bare får slippe til, innenfor og imellom kunsten og filosofiens rom, som også er uadskillelige fra ethvert annet rom. Vi lar døra stå åpen. Foredraget er en del av arrangementsrekken diskursprogrammet FUTUREBODIES. FUTUREBODIES er støttet av Fritt Ord og Bergen kommune…

The first coordinator of Prøverommet, Rune Salomonsen, sat down with Laurie Lax last week to have a talk about Prøverommet and what to expect from the new coordinator.
En prat om glemte opplevelser, fortrengte følelser og katarsis. Den psykoanalytiske behandlingsmetode tilskrives som regel Sigmund Freud, og bygger på den østerrikske legen Josef Breuers oppdagelser om at såkalte hysteriske symptomer kan knyttes til traumatiske opplevelser som virker i ubevisstheten. Gjennom hypnose kunne man få pasientene til å huske tidligere glemte opplevelser, få fortrengte opplevelser opp og fram i lyset og på denne måten oppleve en form for katarsis eller renselse, slik vi også kjenner begrepet fra scenekunst-teorien. I Pedro Penims forestilling Before diskuteres forholdet mellom nåtid, fortid og fremtid. Er tanken om at alt var bedre før en iboende impuls i den menneskelige psyken? Vi inviterer til en samtale mellom Pedro Penim og Psykoanalytisk Forum Bergen der vi vil dykke ned i – og opp av – denne og nærliggende materie. Samtalen en del av arrangementsrekken Rein Bonus er støttet av Fritt Ord.…

We learn more about the distinctive artistic practice of Tori Wrånes. Wrånes lets us in on her work in this 90 minute talk with film clips. http://toriwraanes.com/ Tori Wrånes (b. 1978, Kristiansand, Norway), currently lives and works in Oslo, Norway. Wrånes is a vocalist and artist and has a trans-medial artistic practice, which unfolds as performance, sculptures, videos or dreamlike installations. Choreography with sound might be a good way to describe her work, be it solo or with multiple performers, like opera-singers on bikes, musicians in a chairlift, or a singing rock.…
In this talk, artist Michikazu Matsune and dramaturg André Eiermann share the process of What The Hell and discuss different forms of performativity in the public space. The Bergen version of the project What The Hell is developed and performed by the students of the Master's Program in Fine Arts at the University of Agder. Michikazu Matsune is a performance-artist and choreographer who works in various contexts and spaces such as stage, museums, public and private spaces. His interest lies in testing poetic absurdity to reflect our society critically and playfully. His interdisciplinary performances investigate themes such as the relationship between body and objects, action and language, place and behavior. Michikazu Matsune is originally from Kobe/Japan and based in Vienna/Austria. André Eiermann is associate professor for theatre at the University of Agder, where he leads the interdisciplinary master’s programme in fine arts. He works as performance-artist and dramaturg in different contexts, often in interdisciplinary and site-specific projects, is educated at the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies in Giessen (Germany), and has coined the term postspectacular theatre with his homonymous phd-thesis (Postspektakuläres Theater, 2009). He is researching in the intersection between theory and practice, recently with particular focus on performing art in controversial areas and contemporary art's relation to situationism. The event is part of the discourse program "Radical Failure" of the theatre festival Meteor 2019 in Bergen…

Presentation and talks with the international network Create to Connect → Create to Impact It is no secret that many theatre scholars and programmers avoid engaging directly in participatory art. Why do we keep on doing it? Do we have a notion that the general public demands this interaction? What changes when an audience member is asked to join in a direct interaction with an artwork or artist? Do we demand more from the spectator than their engaged act of perceiving, interpreting and processing what is being shown on site? Art and its impact in society around us is a topic that is constantly up for discussion, as it should be. What if we look at it through the participatory art lenses? We invite you to a presentation of the international network Create to Connect → Create to Impact, which deals with contemporary performing arts, and to a series of talks by professionals connected to the subject, among which: Lali Pertenava (art historian, Public Art Platform and Tbilisi Academy of Fine Art, Georgia), Siniša Labrović (performing artist, Croatia), Willy Thomas (artistic Director ARSENAAL/Lazarus, Belgium), Dan Podjed (researcher, Slovene Academy of Science and Arts, Slovenia), Alma R.

A showing of work-in-progress, conversation, and a live podcast on how performing arts is created. In recent years BIT Teatergarasjen has recurrently carried on podcast productions, since we seek to document the various discourse events of Rein Bonus while sharing good conversations and inspiring thoughts with a larger audience. This time in collaboration with Mirte Bogaert, the format expands to a work-in-progress showing combined with a podcast conversation. How does one present physical expression of words and sounds by using only vocal cords and ears? While working with the performance And there is a chair, Mirte explores the way dance turns into sounds that form a composition which, again, becomes a dance, observing how dance rearranges itself through sound. Objects and light turn into tools that initiate vibrations in the room so that movement can come into being anew. The event is a collaboration with Carte Blanche and Bergen Dansesenter - regional center of excellence for dance. The showing of work in progress as live podcast is a part of the event series Rein Bonus.…

The Making of Justice is a vulnerable portrayal of seven prison inmates who have been charged with murder. Through conversations with the inmates, Sarah Vanhee encounters individuals in impossible situations, and their reflections surrounding retribution and rehabilitation. The film establishes a subtle tension in relation to questions about the retributive justice system as well as society’s perception and treatment of those who have lived outside the law. After the screening of the film there was an artist talk between artist Sarah Vanhee and philosopher David Chelsom Vogt. The entire talk is in English.…
