Our Story
Teater Exit was formed to create a space for theatre practitioners and enthusiasts with multicultural backgrounds to share their experiences and create new work.
The workshop/studio began in 2012 as a pilot project in collaboration with Nordic Black Theatre. The group's first production, «Entanglements», loosely based on a play by J.C. Grumberg, premiererd at Cafeteatret in May 2013.
In 2013/2014, we presented «Gasoline High», written in cooperation with the Macedonian writer Yasminka Markovska. The project was a collaboration between Exit, Nordic Black Theatre and Dramatikkens Hus. On the autumn of 2015 the group was working on a version of «Roberto Zucco» by Bernard-Marie Koltès with the premiere on May 2016 at Cafeteater. In 2018 the group presented the work “Improvisations on A.Chekov: Cherry Orchard. Now the group colloborates with the Oslo Teatersenter in Oslo and is working on the project “Decomposed Theatre or Trashcan Human” by Matei Visniec with the support from the Norsk Kulturrådet aswell.
The group is led by Renata Aleksejunaite Christensen. Renata has many years of experience as an actor, director and project manager.
During rehearsals we explore a range of acting techniques, and work with both voice and movement. "Everyday routines" is a key starting point for our work while improvisation forms a large part of the process.
