HOTBED workshop: w/ Hilde Sandvold

Join us this November for a 3-hour masterclass led by renowned Norwegian choreographer and performer, Hilde Sandvold. 

Explore the art of coordination as a gateway to performance, presence, and emotional expression. 

Under Hilde's guidance, delve into choreography's fundamental elements by diving into four questions: What are we doing? What are we feeling? Where are we? How are we being perceived? By deconstructing these elements, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how choreography shapes your movements and emotions.

Through experimentation, you'll learn how to combine these elements in exciting ways, sparking your creativity. These exercises will not only enhance your artistic skills but also elevate the precision and impact of your performances.

About Hilde Ingeborg Sandvold

Hilde Ingeborg Sandvold is a dancer and choreographer. She got her official education from The Danish National School of Performing Arts, graduating in 2013.

Working as a dancer, she has collaborated with a vast number of choreographers and companies throughout Europe; Oona Doherty, David Zambrano, Wim Vandekeybus/Ultima Vez, Hofesh Shechter, Tina Tarpgaard, Kitt Johnson, Taneli Törmä, Edhem Jesenkovic, Martin Forsberg and Andreas Constantinou to name a few. She is currently to be seen in Navy Blue by Oona Doherty, which is touring Europe and North America (including singular destinations in Asia).

Hilde has created a number of solo works, performed in 13 countries to date. Among them, Dans, for Satan, chosen for AEROWAVES and ICE-HOT 2018, and more recently the full scale production grått. Hilde has also created works on company Corpus at the Danish Royal Theatre; Mother in 2019, and the piece shuffle play which was meant to premiere in 2021 (premiere covid-cancelled). Upcoming pieces are Petroleum which will premiere March 2024, and all that I have, premiering in spring 2025.

The body is the core of Hilde’s practice. Her work aims to understand the body, and the act of being a body, through and in different contexts. Hilde’s works are physical and raw, created with a sense of DIY. Her performance-style is unhinged, ensuring unfiltered meetings with audiences, often laced with poetic potential.
