DIGGING INTO MY MAGNIFICENT TRASHBIN I'M SEARCHING FOR MY LIFE
23.06.2018 FESTSPILLENE I NORD-NORGE / ARCTIC ARTS FESTIVAL
Harstad (NO)
We need each other to understand and experience ourselves in the world. Starting with shiny trashbins, five distinctive dance artists take the audience and search in their own lives in hope for healing and salvation. Sharing is caring!
Haugen Produksjoner takes the audience on a journey - out of the theater room and into reality, a reality that can also be poetic and full of movement.

28.04.2018 - 29.04.2018 When Art Meets Science - I Love Science Festival
Horta Hall, BOZAR Brussels (B)

EXHALE (performance - installation)
A large inflatable is constantly changing shape, struggling with its environment or adapting to it? Visitors can sign up to visit the inside of this gigantic lung and witness some excerpts of the EXHALE- performance.
EXHALE starts from a movement we all share: breathing. This process of inhaling and exhaling as an expression of our physical and mental states is in constant change and usually unconscious. Yet it can also be a portal to control psychosomatic phenomena like stress and anxiety. Breath connects mind and body, the yogi said a 1000 years ago. However in these eco-calyptic times where fear is the best selling currency, science tell us about earlier mass extinctions and the cycles of life in our earthly atmosphere. With scientific prose, dance and electronic sounds, the audience is invited inside a large inflated lung where performers and visitors become one and the invisible air is shared as a physical and tangible medium. ‘Breathing is the first and the last thing you will do, you will breath about 10000 liters of air today. Without breath, no life.’

PUST / EXHALE
28.09.2017 - 01.08.2017 Dansens Hus
Oslo (NO)
Dance by Liv Hanne Haugen and electronic sounds, performed live by one of Norways leading and internationally acclaimed electronic musicians Per Martinsen, communicate abstractly and open - sometimes violently and loud, other times soft and quiet, with each other, always in presence of the sound of breathing. Visual artist Lawrence Malstaf is manipulating, pulling and re-shaping the bubble in a dance that also makes the audience move.
Finally the audience has the chance to monitor their own breath standing side by side on a line while dropping pebbles in a papercup leaving us wondering how many more breaths to go.
Première PUST / Exhale
13.11.2016 DanseFestival Barents
Arctic Culture Centre, Hammerfest (NO)
This project has its starting point in a movement we all share: breathing. Through dance, installation art and electronic music and by roles between performer and audience which are sliding and shifting, we hope to move from an I to a we, from individual to community. The project seeks to strengthen the self-esteem through community as a starting point. A multitude of unique breath. The project seeks to create a space where the public will own habits and BREATHE conscious to contribute to greater freedom of action, individually and collectively.

Premiere 'State & Ecstasy'
24.05.2016 FESTSPILLENE I NORD-NORGE
Harstad (NO)
'State & Ecstasy' is a performance with dance, installation, music, poetry: five artists dig into collectivity, both politically and existentially. The result is a subjective and beautiful examination of individualisation and freedom, and a fervent desire - both in art and politics - to achieve a collective ecstasy.
With Amund Sjølie Sveen, Lawrence Malstaf, Jon Tombre, Liv Hanne Haugen and Tale Næss.
