Bevegelig Uenighetsfellesskap is a new concept initiated by Ravnedans. Bevegelig Uenighetsfellesskap is a search for new ways of reflecting and working with a theme, through combining artistic and theoretical practices. For this year's first edition, we have invited choreographer and dancer Louis Schou-Hansen and theater critic and dramaturge Mariken Lauvstad to host a two-day discursive workshop.

  • For this very first version of Bevegelig Uenighetsfelleskap, we have decided to mold the program into a collective study group. Throughout the two days we spent together, we will touch upon various modes of discussion, sharings, and soft introductions to theoretical content. For the workshops, we will propose concrete structures in which we want to engage with topics surrounding decoloniality and queerness. These engagements will happen within an informal atmosphere, through shorter speculative exercises, mind mapping, reading, listening, and collective discussions.

    The program will be split in two days. Mariken is facilitating the first day, while the second will be hosted and led by Louis. Participation requires no preparation or former engagement with theory, but we ask you to attend both days.

    Professional artists from any artistic discipline or background are more than welcome to apply (e.g., dance makers, visual artists, opera singers, etc). The study group will be minded toward "relatively" newly educated artists (in their establishment phase) or more established practitioners curious to engage with theory with little or no prior knowledge.

  • Louis Schou-Hansen (it/they) lives and works in Oslo. While moving between various contexts, its practice spans dance, choreography, writing, and sometimes curating, often revolving queer and trans-feminist epistemologies. Louis’ performances have been produced by and invited to Copenhagen Contemporary (Copenhagen), Black Box Theater (Oslo), PUBLICS (Helsinki), Dansens Hus (Oslo), My Wild Flag (Stockholm), among others. Its writing has been published by SITUATIONS (New York), UNDERSTORY (London), and Scenekunst.no (Oslo). As a dancer, they have performed in the works of Ingri Fiksdal, Runa Borch Skolseg, Edhem Jesenkovic, Janne Camilla Lyster, and Ingun Bjørnsgaard, to name a few. Louis’ work was recently nominated for Sandefjord Kunstforening’s Art Prize (2023) as well as The Norwegian Critics Association Prize (2020)

    Mariken Lauvstad has over the years worked as a theater writer, dramaturg, instructor, actor, singer and theater teacher. Currently, she is most active as a writer, teacher and dramaturg. She is a regular theater critic for Morgenbladet and teaches the subject Contemporary Art at Kristiania College. As a dramaturg, she has among others worked for Tigerstadsteatret and Riksteatret.
