Peder Bjurman & Leif Jordansson in residence

At MDT, Leif and Peder will try and crash-test automated systems in a real performance situation. The music, soundmix and light are all remote controlled by a mouse that triggers all queues via a touch screen. The text, read aloud by the audience at the stage floor, will be tested along with the game-like possibilities of performing it.

Peder Bjurman is a freelance writer and director. He provided the original idea for “The Far Side of the Moon” directed and performed by Robert Lepage. The play was turned into a feature film, selected for the Academy Awards 2002. Bjurman directed and designed “Doktor Glas” at the Vasa theatre in Stockholm. He is working on a new piece with Lepage devised for a network of circular venues in Europe, called “The 360 Network”.

Leif Jordansson is a composer, sound artist, musician and performer. He has been writing music for theatre, ballet and film in Sweden, Norway, Italy, USA, and Great Britain and worked with directors such as: Kajsa Giertz, Linus Fellbom, Mick Gordon, Ted Shank, Patrick King.

Andersen piece ”The little mermaid” for The Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm and music for a new film by Simon Kaijser da Silva ”Stockholm East” that premieres in the fall 2011.
