Experimental form in performing arts for small children

Artists who make performing arts for the youngest audience (0-3), often adopt methods that transcend boundaries, where form, scenic devices and dramaturgy often break down conventions and hierarchy. Artistic leader of Teater Fot, Lise Hovik, holds a Ph.D. in theatre for the youngest children. Hovik is also an artist and visits the festival with one of her own performances: Sparrow. In her work, the interaction between different scenic elements is central. In this seminar, we ask reseracher and artist Hovik and Christina Lindgren, scenographer and professor at The Norwegian Academy of Art, about experimentation with form in performing arts for the smallest children. How does the youngest audience allow artists to move into a postmodern landscape in terms of form and modes of expression? With: Lise Hovik and Christina Lindgren Moderator: Lisa Nagel
