TEATER STREETLAB - Skuespill & Street dance

Do you like expressing yourself through theatre and movement – or do you love rhythms, rhymes and poetry? In this workshop, you will have the chance to act, perform poetry, dance and beatbox. You will learn about improvisation and create physical theatre based on current social issues that matter to you.

As a participant in this workshop, you can:

work with different acting techniques
write and perform texts and poetry
dance
beatbox
learn more about improvisation in theatre and dance
bring elements of your own identity, and your cultural and social background, into theatre
create a small showing and perform with the rest of the Theatre Streetlab group as part of the full NUK showing at UiT

The workshop is led by a team of experienced instructors who will give you different tasks, inspire you and guide you throughout the week.

A cross between street culture and high culture

In this workshop, theatre, dance, street culture and cultural class struggle are brought together – led by instructors from the boundary-breaking performing arts organisation SPKRBOX.

The workshop combines exercises from improvisational theatre and street dance. There will also be opportunities to write texts and poetry, and to try beatboxing. Taking the struggle for social justice as its starting point, the workshop is based on the right to tell your own story on your own terms.

Personal stories about identity, and social and cultural differences, become a means of fighting for a society where there is equal space for everyone.

Level

In this workshop, the most important thing is that you want to learn more about theatre, poetry or dance. You do not need any previous experience to sign up. All tasks will be adapted to your experience and skill level, so the workshop is suitable whether you have no experience, some experience or lots of experience with theatre and/or dance. You can write about your experience in the application form.
