Sisters is a dance performance by and with sisters Anne Katrine and Liv Hanne Haugen. Only a 16-month age difference and the same choice of profession have contributed to the birth, development and refinement of the idea for this performance, which uses movement, movement with narration (both recorded and live), music and video. A video film is an important part of the performance. In the film, we meet eight sisters and hear a lot about their thoughts on being sisters - but also about what it's like to be a woman, an older woman, a widow, a mother, a religious being or not. The dance unfolds in different phases and situations: the claustrophobic tightness of the sisters' hair being braided together, the liberation and the experience of individuality. Bonds and cohesion are strengthened. The subjective experience of shared history is expressed by both performers dancing their own experience of a particular situation. The dance unfolds in the borderland between the more surreal and the clear and concrete. The dance and the documentary video complement each other, which helps to create complexity and depth in relation to the themes of the performance. The music is specially composed by Roger Ludvigsen. The soundscape consists of voices, city atmosphere, nature sounds etc. Trombonist Øystein Blix plays live and gives the music a personal and present touch.

Comments on the workshop:
The dancers invite the students to a conversation after the performance. In this meeting, they want to provide space for discussion, questions and answers with an emphasis on creating discussion about the performance experience of each individual student. In this way, they want to raise awareness of what dance can be in terms of different expressions and as a form of communication. It will also be possible to try out simple movements in relation to the pupils themselves. A proposal for preparatory work has also been prepared, which can be obtained by contacting the group.
