LAST
Last is a soft protest, an ongoing action situated in the forefront of Norwegian Education institutions. Based on choreographic scores, a core group will perform sequences of actions situated at the entry point of public education institutions.
Last is a living memory and performing monument of what will not be anymore. This work is a response to the student fee for non-European students, wich was introduced in 2023.
The core group consists of students from the National Academy of the Arts. Mainly my class, the last group of MA-students that have equal* access to higher education in Norway.
Performers: Belén Santilan, Katja Henriksen Schia, Arys Wu and Carolina Vasques
Key words: human sculpture / soft protest / ongoing action
*Equal here means not paying a student fee to enter school. As students from outside Europe have to do a big effort already in order to enter this institution. https://www.ballade.no/politikk-debatt/gratis-utdanning-er-ikke-gratis-og-allerede-ganske-dyr-for-noen/?fbclid=IwAR2r_MgVpj8Wl1-MkpHcOMaDSarqD3YGd7EpboF-4KWasEYas-0I0wQV9SY

The live-action will last for 15 min, it should be repeated over time in the same places. I have made scores for the choreographic material. Click here to look into scores.
