Event:2014/11/23 Shake It Collaborations

Sponsored and hosted by OMNIdance

6 - 9 pm in the Disco Room

Shake it Collaborations (SiC) is a Sweden based, internatio­nally work­ing company operating in the fields of performance, dance, theatre, film, radio and TV. The company was co-founded in April 2012 by the independent artists Tove Sahlin and Dag Andersson. Together they form the double-hearted artistic director duo of SiC.

Shake it Collaborations functions as a platform to share artistic ideas, administration and economy. The platform also provides means for research and a creative context for invited collaborators through its projects. The company is expanding and reshaping, from project to project, depending on the different collaborators. SiC initiates its own projects in addition to commiss­ioned works.

The SiC projects often host an intrinsic critique to power structures in society, and they often investigate body and identity politics. Furthermore, they often propose alternatives on how to shake up the existing formats of theatre and social conventions. Instead of departing from one expression, SiC starts from a concept and then chooses the most suitable form and format to address the topic and context. The expressions range from radio and text-based theatre via movement, dance and circus, to installations and pieces focused on audience participation etc etc.
