In ENE, there are six artists exploring the concept of "body" through sound, movement, scenography and technology.  We are collaborating across our individual artistic disciplines to create a new body; a bodily scenography / a costume that will be adapted to fit one performer. This scenography becomes the basis for a physical and auditive exploration in public space. Central concepts in the pre-project are gender, self image and public bodies. We are together exploring bodies as concepts and challenging expectations of how bodies should look, sound like and move. We finished a pre-project in 2023, and are working on a new full-scale version of it that will be premiering in 2025!

 

The goals of the pre-project have been: 
- Exploring body through movement, scenography and sound
- Establishing a close collaboration between artists working with different discilines

- Developing a bodily scenography that can change a performers physical attributes, change the body language and generate sounds

 

We have currently worked both individually and as a group to explore ENE, supported by the Norwegian Kulturråd and Davvi - Senter for Scenekunst.  We have tested lots of different concepts and ideas, and are left with several interesting sketches of sounds, scenography and movement.

 

Developing the project further,  we traveled to Nordland Visual Theatre, where we explored different structures, sizes and materials that could help us create a sort of bodily "confusion". This was a big step further for the project and you can read about the next phase of the project here, and see how the project continues to develop towards a premiere in 2025.
