On the outside

ON THE OUTSIDE is an interdisciplinary artistic collaboration in which compromise goes hand in hand with a refusal to budge.

For what happens when a songwriter is given free rein to create a concert for a dance theatre and the dance theatre is given carte blanche to choreograph a concert?

ON THE OUTSIDE is Marie Munroe and Panta Rei Dance Theatre’s (PDR) first collaborative work. Based on a shared fascination with a quote by Dave Eggers – “You have What I Can Afford To Give” – they aim – through their different means of expression to communicate the loneliness found in togetherness.

PRD is one of Norway’s most prolific dance companies. PRD tours both in Norway and abroad, ever challenging itself to reach new audience groups, this time the concert audience.

Marie Munroe is the name and sound of one of Norway’s most unique voices and songwriters. The voice from the picturesque coastal town of Ålesund has had a number of powerful musical releases in recent years, both from interesting collaborative projects and as a solo artist.

Hanne Iveland Henriksbø has worked for a number of years on a freelance basis with costumes for film and television. She also creates sculptural garments that are presented at both exhibitions and as costumes for the stage. She has been nominated for the annual Norwegian television award “Gullrutens fagpris” two years in a row.

Anastasia Isachsen is one of Norway’s more prominent video artists with a broad range of collaborations behind her in Norway and internationally as concerts, dance productions, music, theatre, installations and exhibitions. In the spring of 2014 she will present an exhibition for Carte Blanche in connection with their 25 year anniversary.
