Dancer/choreographer Kristin Helgebostad and carillonist/composer Laura Marie Rueslåtten have a close artistic relationship and have developed several projects over the years.
Helgebostad/Rueslåtten premiered their next piece CHEERS! at Dansens hus 23-26 November. CHEERS won the Oslo Prize of NATT&DAG for best stage performance in 2018. CHEERS was also nominated for the Norwegian Critics Prize 2018. The piece has been touring internationally and is now selected for the international Aerowaves network in 2020.
CHEERS is a merciless distortion of a cheerleader show, nearly unrecognizable, but always cheering! They investigate cheering as an unpredictable force which strengthens, weakens and never reaches a conclusion about what it is actually cheering for. Cheering is love and manipulation, either individually or collectively. Dancer/choreographer Kristin Helgebostad used to be a cheerleader in her teens, and with CHEERS she is going back to her roots. Together with the performers Marianne Kjærsund, Sigrid Kopperdal, Julie Moviken, Berglind Rafnsdottir and Charlott Utzig, costume designer Thale Kvam Olsen and lighting designer Elisabeth Nilsson, they transform the cheers, chants, acrobatics and pyramids. In their search for new approaches, they twist, turn, celebrate, problematize and contort the ways of cheerleading. Their throws can be small and careful, their cheers can be whispered or hissed, as long as they instigate action!
Helgebostad/Rueslåttens previous performance ME TOO, now named THEE TOO, premiered at Dansens hus in Oslo in 2015, and since has toured extensively both nationally and internationally. The piece is based on the amalgamation of hand bells and movement, and was nominated for the Norwegian Critics Prize the same year, as well as being selected for the international Aerowaves network and ICE HOT Nordic Dance Platform.
