Reflecting on SIB Danse Lab 2009

This summer SIB run it's first dance Lab. The aim was to create a network for dancers in the inland of Norway and I think we did so successfully. The Dance Lab took place at Hildes Ballet Studio, which we were able to use freely throughout the week. SIB would like to thank Hilde Gullhav for letting us use the studio. We were also supperted by Hedemark Teater who kindly gave us funds to cover some costs.

11 dancers participated either as dancers or choreographers and 5 projects were presented all of which were presented at our final "work in progress" show.

The choreographers who presented their work were:

Mirela Kolo
Alenka Herman
Kristina Korsnes
Annette Brandanger
Therese Slobb

In addition to our local dance artist we also had external visits from Belgium and London. Thank you Mirella and Alenka for taking part.
The energy and collaboration within the group, during the intensive week, was fantastic and inspirational. Due to the success of this first born Dance lab we hope to consider this as a start to an ongoing project. We are looking forward to further collaborations producing high quality dance within our expanding network.

All the Best

Annette Brandanger
