<h2>1. Anders Engebretsen – Excited danser</h2>Excited dancer&nbsp;is a tribute to the joy of dance, community and intensity. The work explores how expectation, charm and rhythmic enthusiasm can be conjured up – from meticulous synchronised dance to exuberant free dance. The audience is invited into an open auditorium, where magic is created by colourful costumes, captivating movement landscapes and adventurous beats.&nbsp;Excited Dancer&nbsp;is about setting something in motion – both in the performers and in the audience – through a playful and unpretentious approach to the innate joy and vitality of dance. Anders Engebretsen&nbsp;imparts dance with wryness and charm, nationally and internationally, in indoor and outdoor spaces. His projects celebrate awkward virtuosity and spontaneity, and experiment with structures, timing, expectation and humour. He is a contemporary dance graduate from the London Contemporary Dance School, with an MA in contemporary dance from the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. As a dancer, Anders has worked in productions by artists including Utvik/Barfod, Panta Rei Danseteater and Kristin Helgebostad, and has worked with Marit Meløe in the duo Meløe/Engebretsen. His own work has been performed at RAS, Bærum Kulturhus and at festivals all over Norway and abroad. &nbsp;<h2>2. Putli Hellesen - Yellow</h2>Yellow is a solo performance which wrestles with reappropriating the term "yellow" as a woman of mixed ethnicity. It explores the tension between internal and external perceptions, navigating the constant negotiation between belonging and alienation.&nbsp;It reveals the weight of exotification as well as the joy and resilience in transformation. Yellow is a creature of conflict—an embodiment of contradiction. Putli Jasmine Baldin Hellesen&nbsp;is a Norwegian-Filipino choreographer and dance artist.&nbsp;Putli’s practice spans the tensions between fiction and reality – and moves effortlessly through personal and collective narratives. Putli embraces the instability of the process, and creates productions that switch between intimacy and spectacle, rigidity and spontaneity, the personal and the absurd.&nbsp;Yellow&nbsp;is the first project in which she confronts her Asian identity.&nbsp;<h3>&nbsp;</h3><h2>3. Emma Jansen/ Jakob Stabell – Slik ser jeg ut inni meg</h2>Slik ser jeg ut inni meg&nbsp;is based on a somatic practice, with Jansen using drawings to document physical impressions and traumas: directions, pressures and currents – which are then translated into movement and relocation in the space. Stabell uses voice as the main instrument, and expands the space by playing on the transition between the everyday and the sacred. Together, they aim to create an informal and inclusive space, where the performers and audience can re-explore the body – as a source of wonder, presence and enthusiasm.Emma Jansen&nbsp;is based in Oslo and works as a creative and performing dance artist. Since graduating from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, she has worked with companies including Nagelhus Schia Productions and Panta Rei Danseteater, as well as numerous choreographers including Fieldworks, Sanghoon Lee, Roza Moshtaghi and Shi Pratt. In parallel with her work as a performer, she also has a creative practice, exploring the convergence and intersection between drawing and movement.Jakob Stabell&nbsp;is a freelance actor and composer, based in Oslo. Since graduating from the Academy of Theatre at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, he has worked as an actor with the National Theatre, Riksteateret and Trøndelag Teater. Alongside his acting work, he has composed music for a range of productions in which he has also appeared, including&nbsp;Peter Pan in the Summer Theatre. With his background in classical piano, he has a melodic approach, working with analogue synths and voice as the main instrument.&nbsp;
