Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion
The Ballad of Bøler Samvirkelag is a celebration of making things together.
The dance collective Bøler Samvirkelag has invited choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion to collaborate, drawing on their long-standing exploration of dance as music. In this performance, the performers function both as a live band and a dance ensemble.
Bøler Samvirkelag consists of the dance artists Ingeleiv Berstad, Ida Gudbrandsen, Marie Bergby Handeland, Kristin Ryg Helgebostad, Pernille Holden, Marianne Kjærsund, Sigrid Kopperdal and Venke Marie Sortland. The collective emerged through the shared use and running of a studio at Bøler Manor in Oslo.
