social presencing theatre
Social Presencing Theater, Workshop led by Marina Borovaya of ICE-9, 7 September 2020 at Tromsø Kunstforening
Social presencing theater is a practice, where the word ‘theater’ is used in connection to its root meaning – a place where something significant becomes visible or where a group of people can have a shared experience. There is an underlying wisdom in every system, which can come to the surface as we move from the current reality of that system to its highest future potential. You are invited to embody different elements of the system we are in, tap into the wisdom of your body and observe.

Sweet, Sour, Salty and Bitter, Ice-cream Parlor by Ieva Grigelionyte, 9 & 12 September 2020 at Tromsø Kunstforening
Artist Ieva Grigelionyte (LT/UK) invited the audience to taste the local-flavours’ infused ice-cream made from plants picked up around Tromsø: “They grow on roadsides, wasteland and bare places by paths, by the driveways, leaning against the fences, reaching out through the cracks in the asphalt. We don’t register them as food, but they are there, a part of our route to work or school, and they have taste.”

Each,other
Each, Other, Film Screening by Kurant Kino, 10 September 2020 at Løkta
Kurant Kino’s curated programme of artists’ moving-image works reflected on our social and emotional presence – the chain reactions we set off, the indelible marks, impacts, and the litter we leave behind. What renders us alien and alone, or binds and connects us? Do we need each other and what are the consequences of that need?
