IDOLS - lab is a workshop with young people about their personal idols led by choreographer Eeva Muilu and theater pedagogue Eva-Maria Reimer. In the workshop partcipants work around questions: What kind of idols we are having or missing? How is one‘s being influenced by an idol? What do we find admirable and desirable? What kind of idolqualities we have in ourselves?
The workshop is a performance - playground, where the theme is handeled on stage-reality and the participants explore different ways of performing alone and together. A showing of this workshop will be presented in the NORDWIND Festival 2011.

CREATURE is Kristján Ingimarsson’s most personal and brutally honest performance ever. A passionately ludicrous, tenderly coarse and slightly melodramatic theatre concert, composed of 7 physical and visual songs. Through constantly shifting attitudes, moods and characters, he displays Man as a creative and self-exposing beast.
Kristján Ingimarsson works both as a director and in collectives with different artists from various disciplines. Incorporating elements of slapstick, dance, theater and acrobatics, his work is characterized by energetic rhythms, surreal effects, humor and its visceral emotional appeal. Kristján has been touring internationally the last 10 years, especially with the performances ART OF DYING (in collaboration with Paolo Nani) and MIKE ATTACK.

Choreographer Eeva Muilu is working with three professional dancers (Eva Burghardt, Anne-Mareike Hess, Saara Töyrylä) for one month residency in NORDWIND festival. The group will be working around a collection of ideas of a trio in time and space. Their work consists of short studies about the body, it’s movements, actions and language.
They use methods of de-coding, unlearning and re-visiting the body and look for simplicity and choreographic scores that will make them to get lost but in the same time to know exactly where they are.

The accordion player Kimmo Pohjonen is recognized as one of the world’s most innovative and exciting accordion adventurers. He performs with his own custom made, electrified and MIDI-fied accordion with live effects, samples and manipulations. His partner Juuso Hannukainen samples his accordion sounds on stage, reproduces them on his electronic drum pads and machines and, together with surround sound and lights, creates an experience that one critic has called »like being inside an accordion tornado«.
There is an additional part of the program featuring Pohjonen and Hannukainen in collaboration with Ukranian vocal group DakhaBrakha. This features specially created and arranged music that is exclusive to this co-operation - an eclectic mix of musical influences ranging from Jazz to Hip Hop.

The program:
part one: DakhaBrakha

"The Theatre Machine and the post-dramatic Paradox"

In the lecture THE THEATRE MACHINE AND THE POST-DRAMATIC PARADOX, Knut Ove Arntzen focuses on ‘marginal theatre’, which can be both the theatre of entertainment as well as theatre that is presenting a social context.
Marginal theatre is context-related, which resides in the highlycharged area between the theatre machine and artistic theatre. It encourages a changing context for the artistic work, by challenging the traditional parameters of theatre production and thus creating alternatives to the mainstream.
The lecture will look at whether the relationship between the theatre machine and artistic theatre makes it possible to adopt a new perspective to the conflict between the melodramatic tradition and the post-dramatic. This will be illustrated with examples from new productions from Nordic performance and director’s theatre.
Knut Ove Arntzen, born 1950, professor in Theatre Studies at the University of Bergen, Norway. He is a theatre critic and has been a scientific consultant to the Bergen International Theatre and Les 20 Jours du Théâtre à Risque in Canada. Arntzen has been a regular visiting professor to teach postmodern theatre at the Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas, Lithuania as well as to the Theatre Academies in Helsinki and Oslo, and he published his latest book in 2007 in Norwegian on a theatre of marginality, on directing and ambient strategies in a Nordic perspective.

Dirty and pretty fantasies collide and cover the reality like a massive landslide in Puputyttö‘s world. The main character, a girl, is living in her fantasies and is stuck with pictures. She wants to be stewardess, tennis star, bosom babe, porno-fantastic stripper and pornacious Little Heidi - a woman in pictures, a woman who is brought to reality by a man looking at her adoringly. Between fantasies and reality the girl is looking for love and trying to express herself. The discrepancy between these two worlds sparks violent dreams in the girl and a will to demolish. Finally the girl gives in to a world that doesn‘t exist.

Love, death, passion, religion, guilt, good versus evil. Inspired by »The Brothers of Karamazow«, Kristian Smeds and his fierce Estonian performers of the next generation go deep down and far beyond the massive themes of Dostojevsky‘s novel. In search of the Russian soul and the essence of the human kind the 12 Karamazovian spirits transform the stage into a powerful scenic rock concert. Wake up Dostojevsky - here come the 12KARAMAZOWS! Kristian Smed is the internationally most acknowledged Finnish theatre director. His energetic and unique theatre language has gained recognition across Europe in the past couple of years, e.g. in Belgium, France, Germany, Austria and in the Baltic States. In spring 2011 he received the XII Europe Theatre Prize for New Theatrical Realities.

As Leena and her family find a new flat, everything seems to be looking up. But her parents, Finnish migrant workers, are poor. They drink. And the social housing projects are disparagingly referred to as »pig sties«. Leena starts to wish she was somewhere far away. But where is her place in this world?
This best-selling debut novel is insightful and sensitive in describing child poverty in an affluent society, in the middle of Ystad (Sweden), where we only know Kurt Wallander to solve his cases. Its relevance as an explosive issue reaches far beyond Sweden and the 1960s and 1970s.
Susanna Alakoski, born in 1962 in Vasa, Finland, grew up in the southern Swedish town of Ystad, the setting of her first novel. She currently lives in Stockholm, writes for Swedish newspapers, and is politically active regarding women‘s issues. BEYOND was honored as best Swedish novel of the year 2006 and was filmed in 2010 with star cast. Following the lecture the film will be shown in Volksbühne, Großes Haus.

THE BAD THE GOOD THE UGLY is a play with three female performers, who fearlessly confront their audience with rage, ugliness and a mythical magic. The cliché of the ideal woman is distorted with a pithy relish, contrasted with that of the ideal man and delightfully and powerfully illustrated with familiar music and film excerpts – all while being debunked.
Born in Denmark, Dorte Olesen has been one of the most successful choreographers in Sweden for several years. Infamous for constantly breaking the rules and for provocation. Central to her work is the question of why breaking through boundaries is still taboo. By provoking her audience, she forces them to reconsider what they see, whether out of rage or delight.

She is the director‘s wife and everything is a question of timing. Especially when you are stuck inside a surprise birthday cake, waiting for the perfect moment to pop up. Thus traumatized, it is no surprise at all that she soon starts a worldwide campaign to fight the sugar-conspiracy.
Charlotte Engelkes solo performance SWEET tells a story of passion, about the fear of sugar, about having a past in the light entertainment business and doing something positive. Charlotte Engelkes mixes text, movement and singing with simple stage techniques to create the magic of SWEET. The core of the performance, an ongoing theme in Engelkes’ work is the role of women in society; explored, analyzed and turned inside-out.
Charlotte Engelkes is Sweden’s best-known performance artist, singer, dancer and actress. She created her own distinct performance aesthetic which lies somewhere between stand-up and revue. As well as her solo pieces she collaborates with choreographers like Sasha Waltz, Raimund Hoghe, Ong Keng Sen, Michael Laub and the composer Heiner Goebbels.

Andri Snær Magnason‘s non-fiction book DREAMLAND criticises the ongoing destruction of the Icelandic natural heritage by the damming of rivers for the gain of cheap hydro electricity needed for international aluminium companies. The particularity of the Icelandic situation opens onto a wider perspective and helps us understand one fundamental thing: »Global problems« do not really exist – they are only a collection of millions of local problems and challenges people are faced with in their daily lives. Dreamland is a deeply moving book about the major concerns of our times, knowledgeable and written with a rare and touching passion. Dreamland is fun and militant. It is philosophical, political, and full of humour.
Andri Snær Magnason, born in Reykjavik 1973, is one of the best know Icelandic writers. He has written and published novels, poetry, plays, short stories, essays, CDs and films. His work has been published or performed in more than 20 countries. Due to his environmental commitment and his role in the political changes following the economic collapse he is now one of the most important voices in the country. In 2009 he filmed as a co-director his bestseller as a thrilling documentary. Both for book and film Magnason received in 2010 the important European KAIROS-prize from the Alfred-Töpfer-Foundation.

’In the Lokaal tonight: Kann/Valkeapää’

The dancer Kaja Kann and the sound artist Juha Valkeapää have been creating songs since childhood. The show has been touring in different places in Europe and all over the world. The group comes together every once in a while. The audience will certainly hear their infamous piece»Money« and other well-known and much heard songs.
Kaja Kann, born in 1973, is known for her unconventional mastery of vocal and guitar techniques. One thing is certain – she enjoys movement and smoky clubs. Kaja Kann has messed around on stage on many more occasions than she would like remembering. And she keeps doing it again and again.
Already in his early years Juha Valkeapää, born in 1967, made bizarre sounds to express himself. In his teens he discovered the electric guitar following the pattern of Jimmy Hendrix. Besides this duet he has been part of several folk, punk-rock, alternative sound space and improvisational projects. He likes to take risks.

The lecture looks in detail at the question of how scenic landscapes interplay with Nordic light, with reference to the changes in the landscape during the four seasons. The focus will be on how these landscapes are expressed in Arctic drama from Symbolism to Situationism Examples of this are site-specific performances like adaptations of dramatic struggles between man and nature on both a real and metaphorical level. This is evident, for example, in the productions of Knut Hamsun’s works adapted by Jon Fosse as well as in new dance and performance art.

He is a theatre critic and has been a scientific consultant to the Bergen International Theatre and Les 20 Jours du Théâtre à Risque in Canada.

Weil die Sauna zum Norden dazugehört wie der Alkohol zum Spaß, gibt es während NORDWIND eine Sauna mit angebauter Bar auf der Kampnagel-Piazza. Frei nach dem Motto "Saunen und Saufen" gibt es dort jeden Abend ab 18 Uhr und bis in die Nacht hinein die Möglichkeit zum Aufheizen und Warmbleiben bzw. Vor- und Nachglühen. Dusche, Decken, Umkleide und Handtücher werden bereitgestellt. Gebaut wird die temporäre Saunalandschaft von Berndt Jasper, Bildender Künstler und Kurator aus Hamburg. Seit Mitte der neunziger Jahre arrangiert Jasper Interventionen im öffentlichen Raum, als eine Form der "In-Landnahme", einer kurzfristigen Besetzung des städtischen Raums. An der Schnittstelle von Architektur und Skulptur bildet er Handlungsräume für künstlerische Aktionen und Veranstaltungen unterschiedlicher Sparten wie Bildende Kunst, Musik, Film und Literatur. Nicht zuletzt im Rahmen des Projekts "Baltic Raw" (gemeinsam mit Móka Farkas), einem sozialen Konstrukt, das sich die Energie des Mobilen und Flüchtigen zunutze macht und den internationalen Dialog und Austausch künstlerischer und gesellschaftlicher Positionen und Modelle fördert, hat Jasper bereits mit zahlreichen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus dem nordeuropäischen Raum zusammengearbeitet.

TEACH US TO OUTGROW OUR MADNESS sets out to explore the intense relationships that exist between women living closely together - be it sisters, nuns, witches, best friends, members of a sect, or polygamist wives. The rivalry, the secrecy, the gossip, the cruelty but also the kindness, the bonds, and the unconditional love. This piece combines dance, live music and storytelling into a horrifying yet liberating experience.
The dancer and choreographer Erna Omarsdottir is one of Iceland’s most interesting and successful artists and for a number of years she has been well established on the international scene. Her collaborators include Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Les Ballets C de la B and Jan Fabre, and four times in a row she has been recognised as an outstanding performer by the magazine Tanz.

Matti Aikio comes from the northernmost part of Lapland and belongs to the Sami minority. He followed in his father’s footsteps as a reindeer herder before applying to the Tromsø Academy of Art where he was accepted first time. Aikio‘s works focus on the bare and aweinspiring landscape of Lapland and convey a sense both of his roots and of his connectedness to the modern world.cHe has created a video installation for NORDWIND and also has an exhibition of his photography. In his NORDWIND installation, using
artistic means, he wants to explore how the culture of reindeer husbandry, which has survived in the far north of the Arctic for many centuries, has come into conflict with modern day conservation policies.
»It strikes me that the reindeer herders, with their centuries-old hunting grounds, have as much right to the land as the predatory animals. Those who want to protect the predators see the landscape as an untouched and undeveloped territory in which the reindeer herders, the Sami, have no place.«, says Matti Aikio.

Cody is a Danish seven-piece band playing folk inspired pop melodies with hints of post rock and nordic glum. During the years CODY has been invited to support acts like Tindersticks (2010) and Band Of Horses (2011). They have played G! Festival (FO), Spot Festival (DK) and Roskilde Festival (DK) twice, and their music has featured films such as the German Warner Bros.’ Film »12 Meter Ohne Kopf« and the Danish award -winning film »En Familie« (DK) / »A Family« (UK).

During the last year the now Copenhagen based Dane Rangleklods has created a name for himself in the underground milieus of Berlin, Aarhus and Copenhagen trough his tireless and intense electronic live performances. Rangleklods‘ music captures audiences by seeing past conventions regarding genre and by understanding the playful utilization of the computer and its unreachable limits as a musical instrument.
