The concept of art is constantly expanding, reshaping, and being challenged. For decades, parts of the arts field have continuously opened up to new performers, working methods, themes, materials, media, audiences, and dissemination strategies. At the same time, many art critics continue to review, rate, and present their truth about a work based on established European performing arts ideals, notions of quality, and previous practices. This tension between sometimes conflicting ideals becomes evident in criticism and public debate.

DansiT believe it is essential to navigate critically in various ways within a diverse arts field. How can we achieve this?

The first DansiT-salon of the season takes the form of a mini-seminar, where different guests present their perspectives on these issues. Associate Professor of Theatre at NTNU and former theatre critic Ine Therese Berg will introduce the evening and guide us through the discussions. The event is a collaboration between DansiT, the research group SEAR (Socially Engaged Art Research) at NTNU, and Tråanten Saemien Dåehkie.

After the presentations, the floor will be open for conversation and discussion with the audience. We’re also curating a vibrant playlist to set the stage for a danceable Wednesday night!
