The Norway-based Dance Collective Dansekollektivet will host a special edition of their recurring event Wine&Waltz. They collaborate with Oslo World for the first time, and for Oslo World & Station Beirut: NextStopDamascus they will present four dance pieces, related to the tags #freedomtomove and #freedomtoexpress: 

• XXX 
An exploration of how step dance, beatbox and rap can be used together. The big common denominator is the grooving rhythm, expressed in dance, voice and text.

Made by/featuring: Janne Eraker, Julian Sommerfelt and Taro Vestøl Cooper. 

• Rupi 
The performance is based on various texts and poems about self-image and self-acceptance, and inspired by "generation achievement". The two dancers explore the contrasts between resistance and freedom, in both movement and expression.

Made by/featuring: Andrea Winsnes and Pailin Berg. 

• Din Varme (eng: Your warmth)
A solo performance based on a previous piece titled «Wasting Away», exploring the human need for touch. «A longing for something that never existed. A longing to be held. A longing to feel at home. I fade away without your presence. But were you ever there at all?

Made by/featuring: Carl Joseph Aquilizan.

• Excerpts from ONLY FOREVER 
A hybrid performance project built from an interdisciplinary, collective structure by harnessing a range of (un)orthodox strategies including emergent pattern formation and self-organisation, addressing the ambiguity of authorship.

Made by: Roza Moshtaghi. 
Dancers: Karen Lynne Bjerknesli, Ellen Kristjansdottir, Even Eileraas, Ida Haugen, Sebastian Biong, Mina Weider, Inés Belli, Trine Lise Moe, Anders Rohlan Småhaug, Vilja Tjemsland Kwansy and Roza Moshtaghi. 

The dance performances will take place in Boksen, at Kulturhuset.

Duration: 60min
CC: Free, but the dancers encourage the audience to donate an optional amount to Red Cross and their work in Syria:
