How do the different art forms relate to the phenomena of light, shadow and darkness? We think of everything from the very practice of light design and shadow theater in the performing arts and dance, the practices of image and photographic art, and the metaphorical and symbolic language in literature, text or film.
- When and where is light, shadow or darkness central and an important part of, and in, the communication?
- Which working methods can be shared and experienced between artists from different fields?
Light, Shadow & Darkness is an interdisciplinary workshop for professional artists in various fields and other art professionals. An offer for students in dance, drama, theatre, literature, visual arts, music and more. The art workshop is set up so that all mentors and participants follow the workshops during the day. The workshops are practical and we will learn and experience through interaction.
The invited artists Steve Tiplady, Annette Saugestad Helland and Christian Sunde will share their experience and practice which together will cover the areas of performing arts, literature, illustration, music and visual art/sculpture. Regardless of your role as a professional artist, student or otherwise, opportunities will be created during the day for both an exciting, fun and professional approach with the aim of inspiring transfer value from your own point of view.
The event will be taking place in Norwegian and English and is a collaboration between Seance, Dans i Trøndelag and Turneteateret.

Where else should one seek the help of light than here in the Nordics. Through long months, darkness oppresses us. Every sensitive person feels somewhat diminished during the dark ages, and then we can help our fellow human beings by using the resources technology offers us to dampen the psychological effect of darkness
