Örjan Andersson Name of the next song

Programme

The work is based on choreographer Örjan Andersson's encounter with BJ Nilsen's music, which in its simplicity embraces nature as a universal theme, and through costume and lighting, incorporates inspiration from Baroque painting into the choreography's divided tableaux.

Name of the next song is a place for reflection and insight. Like a pause where the spectator is drawn into awareness and at the same time thrown into a universe of sound, movement and light. It touches and embraces.

Choreographer Örjan Andersson has a personal and unique expression, his work is characterised by a strong musicality and a constant curiosity about the possibilities of movement. Name of the next song gives the individual dancer their own, self-evident place. The work is based on BJNilsen's music, which embraces nature as a universal theme.

- We live in a time of extreme speeds and we are constantly receiving a multifaceted collection of impressions. In Name of the next song, I try to recreate time as we perceive it in real life. I let the movement have the time that the movement needs. Time thus becomes not artificial but real. This is also how I experience BJNilsen's music," says Örjan Andersson, choreographer.

The work is inspired by the paintings of the French Baroque painter George de la Tour.

Örjan Andersson's creations are either created for Andersson Dance or commissioned by several of the leading European dance companies. They range from large symphonic works to smaller creations and projects for art centres and alternative contexts.
