[edit] Living House - Sweet & Tender at Dance House Oslo (from 14 till 21.04.2009)
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.

[edit] JOINING RESEARCH
Students
Students from The Academy of stage art are joining us for the whole period and for the whole project. The idea is to include them in an artistic project / research that is already existing and that the students somehow become a continuation of the artistic research for the artistic group working on this topic. Projects that open for more people will be communicated on mail before to the students and they decide individually which research / work they are interested in collaborating on and developing.
Local artists
The 3 local artists are invited to join the whole project, as the students.

[edit] Conclusions for the Future, Espaço do Tempo, Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal (from 2 till 22.03.2009)
* O Espaço do Tempo (Portugal): http://www.oespacodotempo.pt/
Conclusions for the future is a space to think critically, discuss, imagine and plan a space for Porto to be then concretely realized it in the following year. What does it mean an art space for Porto?
This project follows up SKITe/Sweet & Tender Collaborations Porto 2008 and is an attempt to gather synergies already established in Porto last summer. It is a possibility to look at the context of Porto city, embrace some of its cultural agents, artists, arts spaces and use some of the principles that characterize S&T as a fuel to generate a space of think thank, projection and realization.
We have been discussing about continuation, consequence, conclusion, company, collective and construction. We have been discussing about coming back to Porto, staying, moving forward, growing. How can we create an independent crossing zone of transitions, passages and businesses?
Either a fixed space, a virtual space that operates as a connective tissue of different structures and projects, a colective, a community of discussion, art reflection and art making, the potential is set...

Para a comemoração do seu décimo aniversário a Companhia Instável propõe um novo tipo de projecto.
Procurando alargar os seus objectivos, este ano também à criação de oportunidades profissionais a jovens coreógrafos, a Companhia Instável 2008 associou-se ao projecto SKITe/ Sweet and Tender Collaborations Porto 2008 seleccionando 3 jovens coreógrafos que se distinguem quer pelo seu percurso, quer na linguagem coreográfica.
Assim a Companhia Instável 2008 actua como plataforma de desenvolvimento, promovendo a profissionalizaçã o e oferecendo meios para a produção e digressão.
Esta proposta resulta num espectáculo com 3 peças: um solo, de António Júlio (PT), um trio de Pavlos Kountouriotis (GRE) e um quarteto de Marianne Baillot (FRA).
The Revenge of The Blondes (Camping Violence) "Camp taste is kind of love, love for human nature. It relishes, rather than judges,… People who share this sensibility are not laughing at the thing they label as 'Camp', they are enjoying it. Camp is a tender feeling." Why we like violence? Tarantino's referential aesthetic influented the façade of this clinical demonstration that violence is not inherently appealing but is made eye-catching by: Costumes, Props, Lights, Sound Effects, Narration –Development of characters, Choreography, Camera angles, Fast images, Cultural Capital, Sexually Explicit Imagery, Comedy, Identification, Habituation and so on.
To transfer the filmic medium into the theatron is the product of engagement in practice with camp theories: by exaggeration, passion, and our genuine passion to recreate Kill Bill. An inherent failure takes place in the moment the real identity emerges [within] and as a result of passionate devotion to character. "Camp is a lie that tells the truth". I believe that it is this enlightening potential that we are seeking when in a theatron.
Stone-Washed I would actually like to do a piece about TRAVERSEES, the idea of GOING THROUGH. I now see different kind of traversées (different ranges as well) inside the show : like going through space together (unissono), going through the air with the upper body (syncro swimming), going through the clothes of the personn next to you (second part). The piece would be like going through time inside the history of dance and sometimes there is a picture. Each picture is an event, a shift in the timming of representation. It tells something about a style. I would like to convey this idea I sometimes feel in my life that I belong to this specific epoch but it could as well be another one... I would like to make this idea of traversées more obvious by reducing the space on a diagonale line that the dancers keep travelling in.
Boots and Breath The possibility of being. There or anywhere. Of being lost. Of being late. Time as space. Space as a canvas in which one invents memories. We've never been in to the desert. We don't know what it's like. But we can imagine that being in such an enormous (empty) place we would be trapped in what we are. To stay. To wait. To look for a way. And reduce all the possibilities of desire.
