Pi*s & Preach on Kloden : How to strengthen the free performing arts field?
Pi*s & Preach on Kloden is a free, informal meeting place for the performing arts field – a social gathering with professional enrichment, current topics and space for discussion. We often invite presenters from different professional environments to share perspectives and start the conversation.
Remember to pick up your free ticket in advance! That way we can be sure to have good coverage at the bar. Click on "Free". You will also have the opportunity to pre-order soup.
On Thursday, November 6, a representative from the Actors' Union's Oslo and surrounding area will come to talk to Kloden theatre about how theatre can become an important resource for the independent performing arts field.

These performing artists will come to present their projects:
Ibrahim Fazlic
Ibrahim Fazlic will talk about an upcoming project, and how he is working to strengthen the infrastructure around his own artistic practice. Ibrahim is a Norwegian-Bosnian playwright, actor and stage artist, primarily in the independent performing arts field. His work has been presented at Rosendal Teater, Black Box Teater, Grenland Friteater, Festspillene i Nord-Norge, Tou Scene, Bergen Dramatikkfestival, Arendalsuka, Vårscenefest and the Theatre Festival in Avignon. The latter visited Fazlic in 2023 with a French translation of TORVALD, a stage text he also received the international Ibsenscope grant to develop. Ibrahim Fazlic productions were recently awarded Artist Support from the Norwegian Arts Council for the period 2026–2030. He was resident playwright at Dramatikkens hus from 2019 to 2023. You can see Ibrahim in the performance Sagaen om Isfolket at the Nationaltheatret from 26 November – and therefore on Kloden theater November 6th.
Roza Moshtaghi
Roza Moshtaghi has received 5 years of artistic support from the Norwegian Arts Council , and will talk about how she will work these 5 years to develop an artistic practice through projects. She is an Iranian artist who lives and works in Oslo. Her projects are often within the field of performing arts, where she works as a choreographer/dancer and performer. Her works deal with the unexplained stories of desire that arise when one adapts to or reacts to systems and structures. The everyday – or rather what we have squeezed into the uniform of the everyday – is Roza's playground. She looks for opportunities to formulate hypotheses about "the hidden" by digging into the everyday as a silent landscape. Roza has a master's degree in choreography from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. She presents her work internationally and continues to develop projects together with other artists as a collaborator and performer.
Venke Marie Sortland from the company Landing
Venke Marie Sortland will be coming to Pi*s & Preik on November 6th – directly from her time as artist in residence at Oslo Cathedral School. Venke will talk about this project, where dance art is both developed and materialized in everyday school life. The company Landing is run by Venke Marie Sortland and Ida Gudbrandsen. Landing's purpose is to initiate, produce and support site- and target group-specific performing arts projects, to help spread dance art to new audience groups, and to initiate development and research in this field. Landing's work has been shown nationally and internationally, including at Dansens Hus, Teaterhuset Avant Garden, Den Kulturelle Skolesekken, during the Multiplié dance festival in Trondheim, the SAND festival in Kristiansand, the UNGI festival in Reykjavik, the Southbank Center in London and the Munch Museum in Oslo.
Common to Landing's projects is the exploration of:
– how we can create situations that enable audience involvement, both physical and sensory
– the encounter with new audiences and contexts, and how these influence the artistic work
– formats that challenge the boundary between work and process.
Maja Roel
Maja Roel will talk about Drømmefakultetet, an artistic enterprise that operates on the border between performing arts company and research platform, and between fiction and reality, where Maja is a fellow and dean. Maja is an Oslo-based choreographer and dance artist. In recent years, she has worked with the nomadic performing arts series Utopia, where she investigates how choreography can be influenced and created with inspiration from utopian thinking. She is currently in the initial phase of a new performance series, Drag as Ecological Practice, which are various choreographed walks that examine how drag can function as an artistic method for connecting body and identity to ecological challenges. Maja is educated at the National Academy of Dance, The Mime School in Amsterdam and at the University of Oslo (theatre studies). She currently has a three-year state artist scholarship.
