About the performance


Oppdageren is a dance solo that comes unexpectedly into the classroom. The solo has no scenography, lighting or other stage elements. The dancer only works with what is found in the classroom, and she can fit in a school bag. During the performance the audience will have the opportunity, through various simple and concrete tasks, to describe the dance that goes on in the classroom. Oppdageren is a notion of body parts, bones, and is a journey of discovery outside and inside the body. The production is also about different ways to make dance, and how to use your imagination when watching dance.
