STICKY Productions invite participants into the sensory world of OOZE — a queer, tactile and immersive performance inspired by the mating rituals of slugs. Through guided improvisations and movement scores, we’ll explore how to sense, move and relate beyond the human, working through touch, vibration, proximity and slow-time.
In different configurations of partners and groups, we’ll dive into elements of our choreographic process: tentacling, slug speed and fluid desires. We will explore how movement can emerge from softness, skin and fluid connection, and how attention to texture, rhythm and closeness can open new ways of moving together.
The workshop offers space for curiosity, playfulness and embodied research, suitable for professional dancers and advanced students. Participants should expect physical touch and moments of guided contact.

STICKY Productions (Ingvild Marstein Olsen, Hannah Parsons, Maria Lothe and Liv Edginton) is a collective of queer dance artists based in Oslo. Their practice delves into the bodily and the sensitive, the playful and the peculiar. Using the receptive and expressive body to investigate their subject matter, their performances play between literal and abstract to offer audiences proximity to imagination and opportunity to kinesthetically absorb stories. Their work OOZE premiered at Bærum Kulturhus in 2024, following their award-nominated children’s performance Økohelter (Heddaprisen 2024, Gulljerven 2023).
