Lisa Östberg & Kim Hiorthøy in residence

Kim and Lisa's residency at MDT, which will result in a work premiering at MDT in spring 2012, will be a coming together of immense force and bendy legs. Broken hearts — and maybe some broken brain — will be glued together with song and dance and superglue.

Lisa is a choreographer, dancer, writer and director. She’s been involved in a wide variety of projects in various capacities, from writing and producing a feature film to acting and performing in musicals such as “Chess” and “Mamma Mia”. She’s currently involved in two new film projects as well as one other work for dance. Kim Hiorthøy (NO) is a graphic designer and musician. Having originally gone to art school, he’s tried his hand at a lot of different things and is currently finishing a master’s degree in choreography at DOCH in Stockholm.

They have previously worked together on numerous occasions, for example the music project “Drivan”, together with Louise Peterhoff and Kristiina Viiala, with a record released on Smalltown Supersound in 2010. However this will be the first time they work only with each other.
