Last rehearsal period and performances: Offbeat

06–12 October 2025 | Studio Bergen, Norway



We kicked off the final phase of the rehearsal period!

The first day I was dedicated to rigging with Bergen Internasjonale Teater (BIT), and from the 7th, we all worked together in the space. I worked on costume adjustments and scenographic sound objects for the final preparations. The day before the premiere was a photo shoot by Thor Brødreskift, and a dress rehearsal.

The premiere was sold out, and we were thrilled to receive such positive feedback from the audience!

I'm so grateful to be part of this project as scenographer and costume designer, to explore Ian's artistic practice together, and to work with such amazing artists in Bergen! I also hope this experience will be valuable for the youth dancers' artistic development.

The project will tour to Voss, Sandane, and Leirvik, where it will meet new audiences! [Read more]
