How to Solo? – Tone Kittelsen
A performative practice on and off stage

How to Solo? is a concept where we work on solo work together, led by Tone Kittelsen. The concept is based on her curiosity for the solo format, and a desire to have more people to share her own practice with. We work with the intuitive dance, the one that cannot be planned, but must be allowed to arise in and of itself.

In How to Solo? we work alone, but together. The solo is the dance you do alone, the one that comes from yourself and affects your own and/or others' work. It is an open space where the threshold is low for working in front of each other and sharing intuitive ideas. 

During the workshop, it is a point that we show, take or dance the word for each other. We practice the spontaneous dance, the one we have not practiced, but that lies there latently. What comes there and then in the moment. We practice that our dance will take and find space whether it is new, finished, half-finished or polished by the thought. The physical experience our body possesses.

The workshop will end in an open performance where we are the audience for each other and where the audience has the opportunity to look in and watch us work on the floor. There will be space for each person to stand on the floor but also for us to work alone - in community.
