Compact Living

As a student one often has to share livingspace with several other people. This year's YoungChoreographer from Stellaris DanceTheatre has made a site-specific performance with this as her theme. Jenny was YoungChoreographer in 2009 and 2010 in Stellaris DanceTheatre.

In Compact Living six dancers serves kitchen bench surrealism and cleaning router fanaticism in a site-specific dance performance. Themes and movement material is taken from the ensemble's many years of experience in sharing life and its routines with too many people in too little space. In an apartment in Liljeveien in Harstad the audience will, from (apparently) a safe distance in the sofa, take part in the confrontations, negotiations and comedy that occurs in the kitchen in the living community that is Compact Living. Welcome home!
