Sign Language Interpreted in Norwegian
A sign language interpreter interprets and conveys information typically received through the sense of hearing. Some preparation is required, and it’s common for the interpreter to attend rehearsals to get an understanding of the performance and what needs to be interpreted. The sign language interpreter usually stands on the periphery of the stage with lighting to be clearly visible to audience members using the service.
What is Dansit-Salong?
In autumn 2023, DansiT started the DansiT salon concept, which consists of conversations and interdisciplinary meetings with and between artists, followed by a time and space to dance together. In the salon, we dive into the artists’ strong commitments to specific interests, themes or issues. The salons are a bit like a delicious spice in the season, and we look forward to chatting and dancing with all of you people who occasionally want a professional, versatile and sociable top-up through the season.
Do we still need to break the norm?
Our first DansiT-salon autumn 2023 focused on the report “Artist – an accessible profession?”. To follow up we use this occasion to consider the status of the dance field 20 years after the founding of Multiplié dance festival, and invite a group of this year’s festival artists to talk about their dance and choreographic practices which could be identified as breaking or challenging the norm. How do different artists find a way to practice their art, in a dance field that is still relatively underrepresented by diverse bodies and practices?
The event takes place in English, and is sign language interpreted in Norwegian.
In this saloon we ask the question: Do we still need to break the norm?
After the talk there will be Dancekaraoke with DJ Kitty Amore.
