<h2>Biografier: Hanna Våge Skjeggestad</h2>Hanna Våge Skjeggestad is a dance artist from Sandnes based in Oslo. She is interested in the simultaneous duality of working both choreographically and as a performer. In her work she is drawn to the multi-faceted, ungraspable and constantly changing, in this the physical body as matter is a starting point she continually returns to.Terrarium – A terrarium in the shape of all the visible and invisible layers that bind the bodies together, through symbiotic collaboration and parasitic exploitation. For I AM UNDONE Hanna Våge Skjeggestad (dance) will, together with Anu Laiho (dance) and Peder Niilas Tårnesvik (sound/music), show a work in progress.&nbsp;&nbsp; Credits: Concept and Initiation: Hanna Våge Skjeggestad&nbsp; Choreography and Dance: Hanna Våge Skjeggestad, Anu Laiho and Putli Hellesen&nbsp; Sound/Music: Peder Niilas Tårnesvik&nbsp; Photo: Kristin Evy Stubberud &nbsp;<h2>Yohei Hamada</h2>Yohei Hamada is a dance artist originally from Japan, currently based in Røst in Nordland, who holds a MA in philosophy at Yokohama National University. Hamada sees dance as an intellectual act to perceive the dynamic world as it is, as dynamic. Recently, he explored the dance of the human body with tools – in Push Pull Matters (2023) and Shin-Shin-Shinwa (2024), and with the surroundings – in FormBodyMaterials (2025). In his new project Anima Choir, he will create a ritualistic dance choir with sculptures made by Daniela Bergschneider, together with other dance artists. The piece is planned to premiere at Bodø Biennale in September 2026.&nbsp; Credits: (for I AM UNDONE showing)&nbsp; Directed by: Yohei Hamada&nbsp; Dance: Yohei Hamada Sculpture: Daniela Bergschneider In collaboration with Katarina Skår Lisa, Janita Rantanen, Trine Samuelsen Hansen, Bergen Dansesenter, Davvi - senter for scenekunst og PROSESS Supported by Kulturrådet and Barents Secretariat Photo:&nbsp;Thor Brødreskift&nbsp;<h2>Ingvild Sandstø Isaksen &amp;&nbsp; Katrine Ellefsen</h2>Ingvild works as an interdisciplinary performing artist mainly using movement, sound and text as tools for exploring our surroundings. Katrine experiments with textiles and different materials, constantly looking for new solutions and answers, driven by continuous analysis of life.Together they wish to explore how the other’s approach can bring new perspective on their work, uncovering layers of engagement curious of what will appear in the intersection, with reflection and humor as a common ground. Photo credit: Vilde Rudjord&nbsp;<h2>Ferdinand Schwarz</h2>Ferdinand Schwarz is a composer-performer and sound artist intrigued by slow and seemingly simple sound, that he deploys in the design of compositions and communal listening practices. Ferdinand approaches listening as an active condition, a creative and contingent tool for states of presence.In Embracing Waves (working title) he shares aspects of his daily listening practice: listening with sound-space as a physical matter, a relationship in-between listener and the heard. Can I touch a sound? How does it feel feeling it? Photo credit: Henk Szanto Photos in the same ordrer as the presentation of artists.&nbsp;

I AM UNDONE

Harald Beharie’s practice and choreographies often emerge in the tension between the everyday and the extreme, the banal and the sacred, playing with transformation as a continuous principle, for both the body and the spaces they move through. At the core lies a desire to challenge how we sense reality. Their works explore how queerness and the body can act as a medium and a site for revolt, ecstasy, and dissolution.For this work, they expand their continuous collaboration and research with visual artist Karoline Bakken Lund. Working together since 2017, they examine the poetic and physical possibilities of collapse, where objects, textures and bodies drift between support and obstruction, cultivating porous visual and social landscapes. In Sweet Spot they also collaborate for the first time with light designer Ingeborg Staxrud Olerud and composer and musician Ingvild Langgård.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Roza Moshtaghi is a Tehran-born choreographer and artist based in Oslo. She explores how the body, desire, and everyday structures are shaped by social and political systems. Through abstract, almost sculptural movements, she creates works that challenge our perceptions of the ordinary. Her works are presented in theatres, museums, galleries, and public spaces, often in interplay with sculptural installations. In 2025, her performance Songs of Chaos was nominated for the Hedda Award for “Best Dance Production.” Previous works include BUD (2022), LIMBO (2021), and Only Forever (2018). Moshtaghi is supported by the Arts Council Norway through its “Independent Performing Arts – Artist” programme.Ronak Moshtaghi is also born in Tehran, and she lives and works in Berlin and Oslo. Her practice crosses the boundaries between drawing, sculpture, and interactive installations, addressing themes of language, translation, violence, and decolonial perspectives. Her work has been exhibited at venues including MUNCH, Kunsthall Oslo, The Mosaic Rooms in London, and Oktoberdans in Bergen. She also collaborates regularly with performing artists and is behind collective initiatives such as Bazar Art Book and Tahqiqotaxayyol.

Australian Nicola Gunn is a Bergen-based artist working between contemporary performance, choreography, writing and pedagogy. Her works have been presented in venues and festivals across 19 countries, among them: Venezia Biennale di Danza, Tanz im August, Tanzquartier Wien, La Villette, Theatre Silvia Monfort, 4+4 Days in Motion Prague, Southbank Centre, Dublin Theatre Festival and others. Her works tend to complicate the relationship between herself, the material and the audience, and the slippages between the body on stage and text – whether written or spoken.

- a deeply personal, and intensely political, exploration of gay and Aboriginal identities.”

Joel weaves his way through and around the audience, one moment channeling childlike innocence, the next exuding muscular gay-male bravado and moments later crashing to the floor in torment. The audience gradually learns the true story of lost innocence, colonisation and sexual assault that has led to his family and cultural dislocation.Hilarious, provocative and heartfelt, this show tickles the nerve endings of desire while prodding the cavities left by colonisation. Featuring Joel Bray’s trademark confection of conversation, dance and all-you-can-eat audience participation, Daddy is a sweet feast with a deadly aftertaste. The performance involves the use of sweets, including large amounts of powdered sugar. This is a standing performance, but a limited number of priority seats (with restricted view) are available for those who cannot stand for longer periods.

- Joel has developed a reputation as one of the most electric new figures in Australian dance who has an uncanny ability to explore his journey and unapologetically present it in a conversational manner.
