Skuespiller- og danseralliansen har invitert Louise Höjer til å holde workshop, med fokus på dramaturgiske strategier innen dans. Løpende påmelding. 

"This is a workshop about playing games and stripping down. It is about allowing complexity to arise out of a game structure. We will only have ourselves, our personal narratives, and embodiment as material. 

Louise Höjer has worked with Tino Sehgal for over a decade as a producer, dramaturge, and dancer. In these capacities she maintains a practice of setting and negotiating compositional structures that are rule based. 

Her workshop will focus on how to create rich, complex pieces through the use of simple dramaturgical strategies. Her belief is that the strength of a piece comes from ensuring a space for freedom within the work – a space which allows for the unknown to emerge, but is itself contained within the fixed compositional frame that the game or rules allow."

In this workshop she will explore such game-based compositions: how to create them, ways of inhabiting them, and techniques for directing groups of dancers and performers within them.

The workshop will provide dancers and makers with dramaturgical and improvisational tools for creating, sustaining, and getting the most out of game-based compositions. On the first day of the workshop, we will explore existing strategies and learn excerpts of existing pieces. On the second day, participants will develop their own scores and choreographies.
