THE WORK
grit is what separates is a new choreographic research project initiated by Bertine Bertelsen Fadnes, in collaboration with the five dancers Leevi, Elsa, Elida, Jaakko and María. By working with the notion of becoming, of transformation without final purpose and with unclear points of start and end, grit is what separates will explore disordered senses of time through physical sensations we only endure because of their transience. Seemingly unimportant experiences as wet socks, headaches and bad sex become physical points of departure into a world full of urgency without direction and physical strain without release.

THE ARTIST
Bertine Bertelsen Fadnes is a dancer and choreographer based between Oslo and Reykjavik, who recently graduated with a bachelors in Contemporary Dance Practices from Iceland University of the Arts. Her practice has so far been centered around ideas of transience, narratives, memories and fictions, and she finds herself driven by a great urge to both investigate and express the feeling of the unknown, unresolved and uncertain.
