On the 17th of December in 1996, the dance company Scirocco (run by Un-Magritt Nordseth and Ina Christel Johannessen) was discontinued with a ceremony at Scenehuset. At the same time, zero visibility corp. (ZVC) was founded by Ina Christel Johannessen together with Jens Setzman (who was an active performer in ZVC until 2003). Ina has, since the beginning, been the artistic and general manager of ZVC and the sole choreographer.
With these pages, ZVC aims to give insight into some of the company's activities – to show the scope and extent it has had and the connections it has made both artistically and structurally – to give credit to those who have had significance – and to examine what has been built up and generated over time and now will be let go of.
Ina and ZVC have created 24 full works that have involved no less than 70 dancers and 55 creative artists as well as several technicians and an administrative team. The works have varied in size from 2 to 19 dancers. Many of the artistic collaborations have stretched over many years, some throughout the company's lifetime.
Since the beginning in 1996, ZVC has both produced and toured internationally as well as nationally, with 398 performances and guest acts in 125 cities in 23 countries. Many other organizations and companies, such as theater houses, venues and festivals with their leaders, nationally and internationally, have been important partners and contributors for the process, realization, range and extent.
ZVC's activities have generated work and activity for many, and in return the company has, through all the collaborations, received unique human and artistic investments. There are so many to thank for this. All the names mentioned in the following lists have been of invaluable importance to the company.
THANK YOU!
