MONACO DANCE FORUM - MADE IN OSLO
Jo Strømgren

For more than three decades Oslo Danse Ensemble was the most popular dance company in Norway. Paradoxically, the company never performed abroad. When the company closed down in 2018, an afterthought appeared: how can we expect the world to understand our domestic culture if we keep it a secret? JSK takes the challenge and has gathered a selection of Jo Strømgren’s creations for this company into a a triple bill of choreographies made in Oslo. The program features Gone (2015), The Ring (2014) and Kvart (2007), Each piece treats a theme of its own, intending to portray different facets of contemporary living.
