If One Keeps Walking Norway

If One Keeps Walking is a site-responsive, experiential performance event that sees a cast of five exceptional professional dancers performing alongside a participatory cast of up to 50 people of all ages and abilities, drawn from the local community.

Audiences are taken on a journey that begins outside; walking and watching, in and through the urban environment, using subtle invitations from performers as a guide. The journey is simultaneously quiet, animated, solitary and together. It culminates in a (theatre) setting, where an original composition by Sabio Janiak is complemented by a live voice artist and the full cast performs together in a space without delineation. Boundaries between the audience, performers and dancers are blurred to create a uniquely human experience.
