]]>Fra tilfeldige elementer til stemningsfulle univers Denne workshopen er inspirert av Nature Theatre of Oklahoma og ulike egne erfaringer. Bruker lyd, musikk, og dialog / tekst rippet fra film-scener som deltakerne tar med seg. Ved hjelp av en leken og improvisatorisk avvikling av video på lerret og lydfiler som sendes til individuelle utøvere via trådløs, “in ear” monitor, skapes en uforutsigbar situasjon. Utøvernes utfordring er å bevare sin bestemte karakter og troverdighet, selv i et skiftende og abstrakt univers. I løpet av to dager blir strategiene tilspisset, og et abstract, men atmosfærisk univers utviklet. Utøverne får sjanse til å trekke seg tilbake innemellom og observere hverandre. Begge dager vil det være en leken oppvarming for å komme i stemning.
Vi beveger oss nå inn i sommeren og kommer til å ha noe redusert aktivitet og tilbud, men det vil fremdeles være mulig å booke seg inn og bruke fasilitetene så ikke nøl med å ta kontakt!
Don´t forget to check out, under the links to the left, all the equipment we can offer for your production period at Wrap – both for music, visual arts and performing arts!
From random elements to riveting universes. This workshop is inspired by Nature Theatre of Oklahoma as well as different personal experiences. Uses sound, music and dialog/text ripped from film-scenes brought by the participants. By the use of a playful and improvisational process where video is shown on a screen at the same time as sound files are sent to the participants through a wireless in-ear monitor, an unpredictable situation is created. The challenge for the participants lies in staying in character and keeping their credibility even if the universe they find themselves in changes drastically. Over the two days we will sharpen the strategies, and an abstract yet atmospheric universe is developed. The participants are given the opportunity to draw back an observe each other. Both days will start off with a playful warm-up to get in the right state of mind.
We are easing our way into Summer and will be having a slightly lower activity level and fewer possibilities. However, it will still be possible to book most of our facilities, so don´t hesitate to contact us!

]]>Årets feiring av Dansens Dager er nå vel overstått, og vi kan melde om godt oppmøte og fine danseopplevelser, både rundt i bybildet og her på Wrap! For øyeblikket jobber Dukkenikkerne på sin nyeste produksjon som skal vises under Festspillene i Bergen, og Transiteatret skal ferdiggjøre sin siste produksjon som skal vises på festival i Stamsund.
Wrap har fått ny tilkomst for bil, og dem som kommer gående fra Danmarksplass-siden. Man må kjøre helt bort til de røde brakkene ved krematoriet og svinge inn til venstre på slutten av disse, kjøre tilbake langs brakkene og inn til høyre over brua. Ellers er det fremdeles mulig å komme gående gjennom porten hvis man kommer fra sentrum/ Naturstien - siden.
Sunday May 23rd We hosted a cookery course with Roy Lervåg where we tapped into the Spanish vibe and made several tapas-varieties and other delicious mouthfuls… the delicious food from the course wereserved, Wrap´s house band gave a mini concert, and there was bar and games to suit all. We are repeating the successful event on Sunday 20. June!
This year´s celebration of the International Day of Dance was a great success. We had a fair amount of people showing up and sharing great dance experiences both around town and here at Wrap. At the moment, Dukkenikkerne are working on their latest production which they are showing at Bergen International Festival, and Transiteatret will be finishing their latest production which they will be showing at the festival in Stamsund.
]]>For øyeblikket jobber både Digitalteateret og Transiteatret i lokalene. Transiteatret jobber denne gangen med en gjenopptakelse av forestillingen Polyfonia Variasjoner av Tore Vagn Lid.
Thud! moving endangered starts by doing a Dance Demonstration at Danmarksplass on Thursday at 10 a.m. to show their support to the initiative Ren Luft Danmarksplass. The following days will see a variety of dance-happenings around town before the Afterparty at Wrap on the Saturday. We open the doors at 8 p.m, and as usual there will be an open dance improvisation at about 8.30 p.m. This time there will be live music by KrAchMaCHeR! http://www.krachmachermusic.com/ If your heart beats for dance improvisation, then this is a great opportunity for a superb session on the dancefloor. The improvisation-session will be followed by a screening of freshly edited dance films shot during dance events happening around town, both earlier in the week and in the day. The party continues with DJ Audinho da Vitrola from Klubb Kannibal http://klubbkannibal.blogspot.com/ Cc NOK 30,- Welcome!

]]>Fredag 19 februar huset vi Bergen Dansesenters Dansekunstnermøte med to visninger av arbeider, gjennomgang av levekårsundersøkelsen for kunstnere og debatt rundt denne.
We have had a lot of activity at Wrap since moving to the new venue in Møllendalsveien, and the time ahead is no exeption.
At the moment we´ve got Transiteateret working in three/four of our rooms on their latest production. They have booked the space until late April which makes their project one of the longest running projects we have housed.
On Friday 19th of February we hosted a Bergen Dansesenter run Dance Artist Meeting with showing of two pieces and discussion about the living standard of artists survey.
]]>There is a lot happening within Wrap´s four walls these days. There are several productions working in our fascilities, we can mention the Ole Bull project (picture), Transiteateret´s new project, Thud-moving endangered spaces´collaboratory project for small children with Mari Kvien Brunvoll (which premiers on Sunday 14th of February), and Leo Preston´s development of the music for Getting Spiritual with Mr Vader. We´re working simultaneously on further developing the systems and organising our various workshops and studios in order for them to be well suited for our users. On the 19th of February there will be a Dance Artist Meeting at Wrap, arranged by Bergen Dansesenter, where dance artists are given the opportunity to show their work.
]]>Several groups are producing work at Wrap at the moment, we can mention NONcompany, Transiteateret, Thud and Leo Preston. And we are still working on planning, fascilitating and organising Wrap. Wrap has accepted Hans Petter Saunes Stensland on an internship. He contributes to the running of the project through practical, administrative and technical tasks.
]]>Wrap had a great opening party, and most services are now available. We have also updated our website with new pictures and the services we provide are more thoroughly described. The previous weeks have been more than busy, both with groups rehearsing and preparations for the opening. The groups and projects that have been working at Wrap since September have together used all our facilities. These are Non Company, Kompany Krapp, the community art projects Damsgård Youth and Breath, Boris Rodriguez Hauck, Line Starheimsæter, Leo Preston, Thud - moving endangered spaces, Jan Holden, Geirdis Bjørlo, Dave Catherall, Daniel Lobo and Dukkenikkerne. Wrap is now also the proud exhibitor of a Mariano Pignatiello mural, which he painted for our opening.
]]>Nærmere program kommer om noen dager. Velkommen!
Saturday the 28th of November is the day for Wrap´s reopening in our new building in Møllendalsveien 46A. The event starts at 8.00pm, and there will be a number of things happening as the evening progresses.
A detailed programme will be posten in a few days. Welcome!
]]>Leo Preston´s Getting Spiritual With Mr. Vader was shown during this year´s Meteor Festival after an intense rehearsal period at Wrap. International as well as local performers participated in the process and the performances. The project is a great example ofo how Wrap´s different studios, workshops and areas of knowledge can contribute to realising exiting, interdisciplinary projects. The production used all of our facilities (the music studio, rehearsal space, scenography workshop and video editing facilities) in the process of creating the performance.
]]>Ikke gå glipp av når Wrap-medarbeider Leo Preston viser sin siste produksjon Getting Spiritual with Mr. Vader 28. og 29. oktober på Studio USF under årets Meteor-festival. For mer informasjon om festivalen og programmet se: http://www.bit-teatergarasjen.no/calendar/2009
NONCompany and Leo Preston can be mentioned as users of the new studio. The new studio is already a success with its wooden floor, increased space and high ceiling. This enables us to now house larger productions than we usually have had room for.
Don´t miss out when Wrap co-worker Leo Preston shows his latest project Getting Spiritual with Mr. Vader on October 28. and 29. at Studio USF during this year´s Meteor-festival! For more information about the festival and the programme see: http://www.bit-teatergarasjen.no/calendar/2009
]]>Michael Walker showed a selection of his works in the basement of Bien between September 25. and October 1. During his stay in Bergen, Walker has been working with children and youth alongside his work towards the exhibition.
