Dancer scores in Oslo - Janina Rajakangas

Get a unique insight into the choreographic process of 12 professional and non-professional dancers from Finland and Norway.

Others don't know
What they define is too slow
I cannot glow
if I go so low'

Experience an open and relaxed working performance with a group of dancers from Dissimilis and X-Ray in a meeting with Finnish choreographer Janina Rajakangas and dancers from Finland.

Through a four-day workshop during this year's CODA festival, 12 professional and non-professional dancers will use Janina's scores (instructions for movement) from the performance 'Dancer' as a starting point.

The performance premieres at this year's CODA and examines how physical expressions can survive exclusive and limiting structures in society.

Some of the dancers are considered neurodiverse, and the needs and lived experience of neurodiverseity provide inspiration for the choreographic process that has reportedly become a very exciting polyphony.
