Fra 15. til 21. april invaderes Dansens Hus. Følg siden nedover for inngående beskrivelse av et utrolig spennende og omfangsrikt prosjekt du ikke har sett maken til.
Våren 09 inntar kunstnernettverket ´Sweet & Tender´ Dansens Hus i 8 dager. I løpet av denne uken vil 12 internasjonale kunstnere fra S&T gjøre work-in-progress visninger, presentere noen ferdige små verk, åpne for strukturerte publikumssamtaler, debatter og seminarer og ellers legge til rette for uvante og skapende møtepunkter.
Noen inviterte lokale kunstnere og en gruppe studenter inviteres til å være en del av prosjektet, og publikum vil på en kompakt og komprimert måte gis innblikk i ulike etapper av en kunstnerisk prosess samt få belyst aspektet av kunstnerisk utveksling og kritisk tenkning i kunstfeltet.
S&T ser denne uken på Dansens Hus som mer enn et sted man kan møte ferdige kunstneriske produkter, men et sted hvor man også kan se prosessen og ideene bakenfor, og hvor disse i seg selv er kunsten.
S&T er et kunstnerisk prosjekt bestående av 46 kunstnere fra hele verden. S&T er først og fremst en idé rundt kulturell produksjon og utveksling. Prosjektet har som mål å eksperimentere med ulike metoder for kunstnerisk produksjon. Prosjektets kjerne er møtet mellom kunstnere. Målet er å hjelpe hverandre med å produsere arbeid, øke kunstnerisk kvalitet og dybde gjennom utveksling.
Dansens Hus har co-produsert S&T store møte i Porto "Skite / Sweet & Tender Porto 2008" og produksjonen av "Fragments d’ Experience" - deler av dette konseptet er innlemmet i "living house" i Oslo 2009.
"Living house" er et samarbeid mellom Mia Habib Produksjoner / Sweet & Tender Norway og Dansens Hus.

LIVING HOUSE Program
«living house»
For eight days, making the Dance House an alive place, making the Dance House an extension of a living room for both artists and audiences. The Dance House as an open house, open gallery, open art space, an art itself. 
Re-contextualizing our relation to a production house (Dance house) by blurring the boundaries of a living space and a working space.
Re-contextualizing / translating / transforming already initiated/ started material / research in a site specific frame here meant both as: 
- The concrete notion of spaces inside and outside of the house 
- The idea of blurred boundaries between a living space and a working space 
- The ongoing «everyday» routines and the «sensational highlight» of a «performative», limited time zone.
This can bring questions connected to domesticity, construction of identity (what builds the image / identity of a production house, of ourselves, of the art we make, of the way we choose to contextualize it and the relation / and our view on our own research and existing material.), living as art, house as an art space, theatre as a living space. What kind of impact does slight changes in our habits and relations to our surroundings change the way we see our art and its place. And what happens to our work material when it is faced to these changes.
Participants 
- 12 artists from Sweet & Tender 
- 7 students from the Academy of Stage Art in Fredrikstad 
- 3 Norwegian dance artists artists
Mia Habib, facilitator.

«Meet Me at the Stairs», by Min Kyoung Lee (South-Korea)

With Meet me at the stairs Min Kyoung Lee confronts her audience with several short «essays» that take form in storytelling, dance and music. Through this diversity she raises the question of what the audience or the performer expects. With «Meet me at the stairs» instead she examines together with the audience the nature of the exchange in theatre.

Performative lecture: «My Everyday Favourite Lecture», by Mariella Greil (Austria), at 19h: 
Duration: full-length: 3x 20 min, Recycling video footage of: Werner Herzog, Valie Export, Bruce Nauman
And is not human life in many parts of the earth governed to this day less by time than by weather, and thus by an unquantifiable dimension which disregards linear regularity, does not progress constantly forward but moves in eddies, is marked by episodes of congestion and irruption, recurs in ever-changing form, and evolves in no one knows what direction?" (W.G. Sebald)
Referring to Henri Lefebvre’ s claim of interconnectivity of theory and practice Mariella Greil will develop a performative lecture" in collaboration with a stage designer at Dance House. 
The performative lecture will be built around the repetition of favorite activities. Greil will explore the way in which the perception of repetition is temporary and aim to interweave the practice of bodily discourse with theoretical negotiations. 
Some generic questions that relate to the frame of the "living dansens hus" that Mariella Greil wishes to touch up on with this work is: 
Why have artists chosen to make the material of their everyday lives their artworks? What are the qualities of the everyday? How is art being refigured here and what is its relation to life?

Prisma: An international forum where artists, promoters, curators, critics, researchers, scholars and organizations from all over the world will meet to think art from within to re-imagine our world. 
Various contexts, different realities, multiple codes, values, methods, and aesthetics. An intercultural effort which implies crossing barriers and escalating limits. A framework that allows for recognizing differences and yet, enables equitable interaction. 
The topics that will be addressed at PRISMA include diverse aesthetics and methodologies for the creation of contemporary art; new codes: the artist-spectator relationship; media and technology; migration and transculturalism in the arts; audience development strategies; alternative artistic education and production models; the arts as a social and political tool; best practices and new cultural public policies. 
PRISMA is not a Festival. The Forum format implies promoting alternative ways of relationship and self-education using diversity as a catalyst. It is an artist-centered initiative where participants from a wide range of disciplines, trajectories and experience will have the chance to meet and learn from each other.
