In the performance "Visions" we meet three art forms: music, pictorial art and dance. Six very different choreographers have each made their dance inspired by Norwegian pictorial art. Some have been inspired by the energy of the painting, some by the form and some by the subject matter. The choreographers are very different both in personality, work methods and experience – something we see reflected in the dances they have created. The composer has had an ongoing dialog with the choreographers, so that the music also encompasses a wide range of styles. In every performance, the composer improvises a piece of music based on four notes given by the audience.

 

"The performance brought beauty to the everyday life of a school. We are grateful that you present performances of a high artistic value for young people. An exciting combination of pictures, dance and music that inspired us all! "Visions" had energy, humour, and seriousness and captivated the audience in an impressive way."
