Playing with Power: Choreographic Tools from Blue Carousel

Lisa Colette Bysheim & Katrine Patry (Norway)

In this workshop, we will explore choreographic tasks and methods that were used in the process leading up to the performance Blue Carousel. Through improvisation tasks, we will try to move between the expected and absurd. We work with repetition and insistence as a choreographic tool. In the workshop, we will attempt to create spectacular moments to explore power and seduction. The workshop will be led by Lisa in English.

About artists

Lisa Colette Bysheim and Katrine Patry have collaborated since 2018 developing a distinctive choreographic partnership grounded in a shared commitment to exploring the complexities of power, seduction, and the human experience. At the core of their collaboration lies a fascination with the subtle mechanics of “soft power”—examining how power dynamics, objectification, and consumption of the female body are expressed and embodied through movement. Using repetition and the raw energy of spectacle, their performance captivates and provokes, inviting audiences to reconsider their assumptions and engage in deeper reflections on societal structures.
