Dragana Bulut works with choreography and performance. In her choreographic practice she treats the theater as a place for social gathering, questioning the different configurations of aesthetics, economics, emotions and their entanglement. By appropriating established social formats she creates performances grounded in the tension between immaterial and material, object and affect, challenging the space between reality and fiction. These social choreographies make transparent various, often overlooked processes of how society choreographs behavior. She graduated from MA studies Solo/Dance/Authorship, University of Arts Berlin. Since 2005 she develops her own choreographic work, which was presented in different contexts (including: HAU Hebbel am Ufer Berlin, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Tanzquartier Wien, Pact Zollverein Essen, Museum Folkwang Essen etc.) Her current research deals with the commodification of emotions through the lens of social choreography. 

Mette Edvardsen

The work of Mette Edvardsen is situated within the performing arts field as a choreographer and performer. Although some of her works explore other media or other formats, such as video, books and writing, her interest is always in their relationship to the performing arts as a practice and a situation. She has worked for several years as a dancer and performer for a number of companies and projects, and develops her own work since 2002. She presents her works internationally and continues to develop projects with other artists, both as a collaborator and as a performer. A retrospective of her work was presented at Black Box theatre in Oslo in 2015, and the focus program Idiorritmias at MACBA in Barcelona in 2018. Her project Time has fallen alseep in the afternoon sunshine is ongoing since 2010, and develops in various formats. The project was part of the long term program of osloBIENNALEN FIRST EDITION 2019 - 2024 in Oslo.
