FACILITATORS
Choreographer · Neuroscientist of Movement · Cognitive Performance Coach · Fullness Training
PhD in Theatre and Performance (Goldsmiths, University of London). Founder of Fullness, a cognitive and mental performance coaching company for elite athletes and performing artists. Creator of Towards Vivencia, a training methodology derived from neuroscience, Dervish Whirling and ensemble practice. Author and performer of Through & Out (2016). His work bridges sports science, neuroscience and contemporary dance.
Jorge Crecis came to dance at the age of 22. What sustained his professional career as a professional performer was not technical virtuosity, but a quality his collaborators consistently identified as a very unique presence on stage. Unable to find a satisfactory account of what that quality was or how it might be systematically developed, he spent the following decade investigating it rigorously.
That inquiry led to a doctoral research programme at Goldsmiths, University of London, and ultimately to the development of Fullness: a methodology for training the nervous system not as a conceptual framework, but as a concrete praxis.
"Resilience cannot be commanded. One cannot simply decide to be resilient, any more than one can decide to be strong without training. SIB Lab 2026 is built on the understanding that resilience requires daily practice across four dimensions - BODY-MIND-SPIRIT-TECH. All four pillars feed into resilience — the capacity to adapt, recover and thrive through difficulty — which in turn sustains long-term artistic impact. Each pillar strengthens the other. Remove one and the structure thins." - Jorge Crecis

· Dance Artist working across performance, choreography, and teaching ·
Annette Brandanger is the Artistic Director of the Skisser i bevegelse (SIB), playing a key role in developing the organisation’s boundary-pushing interdisciplinary collaborations and innovative artistic projects.
With a background as a dance artist in both the United Kingdom and Norway, she draws on extensive experience in facilitation, teaching, artistic and performing practices, where each is valued as equally important and interconnected aspects of her artistic work.
A particular interest in dance in public spaces – and in engaging audiences who might not normally seek out dance – lies at the heart of her practice. She is interested in how dance can create new encounters, open up opportunities for participation, and reach wider and more diverse audiences.
In 2025, Annette began a Master’s degree in Contemporary Dance and Ballet at Rambert University, where her research explores the role of dance in relation to society and audience experience beyond traditional theatre settings.
Originally from Ottestad in Stange Municipality, Annette maintains a strong connection to her home region of Hamar, where she first began her journey as a dancer while studying at Stange Upper Secondary School.

· Embodying the Artificial ·
Diego Marín is a choreographer, dancer, and researcher working at the intersection of technology, creativity, and kinesthesia. He is internationally recognized for developing early co-creative methodologies with artificial agents, contributing to a shift in dance practices beyond tool-based approaches to technology.
His work has received multiple distinctions, including the Saberes Danzados Award 2025 by the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (Mexico), and a shortlist nomination for the One Dance UK Awards.
He is the author of Embodying the Artificial, which examines what it means to dance with artificial entities and contributes to the theoretical foundations of embodied AI in the performing arts. His work translates complex technological ideas into choreographic and pedagogical practices, and has been presented at leading institutions across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Marín is currently completing a PhD at the University of Oslo, where his research focuses on kinesthetic memory, embodied rhythmic co-creation, and the ontologies of rhythm.
POP UP PRODA workshop with Annette Brandanger
Devising method for interdisciplinary meetings
“How to Create Pop-up Performances as a Way to Dive into Interdisciplinary Meetings?”
Sunday 14 June
Welcome to PRODA WORKSHOP with Annette Brandanger where we’ll explore how to create pop-up performances as a way to dive into interdisciplinary meetings.
Let's do devising!
PRODA POP-UP, practicing devising in front of a passers-by audience, opening your practice for people to see. This POP-UP PRODA workshop explores dance-sketching realtime with the audience present. No expectations to perform or achieve just to dive deep into what is already there.
Bernt Ola Volungholen will join in with tunes of opera. And the POP-UP workshop takes place in the visual group exhibition "Verden som farge" (World as a Colour) at Kunstbanken - senter for samtidskunst
Workshop is lead by Annette Brandanger and is a part of SIB Dance Lab 2026 programme.

Even though the workshop takes place in Kunstbanken during its opening hours and we will meet accidental audience, as an extention of Pop-up Proda workshop, we are also inviting the audience to come at a certain time and experience our explorations towards the end of a workshop: POP-UP PERFORMANCE «Sketch – Kroppens stemmer». As Pop-up Proda workshop participant you are invited to take part at the performance (optional).
IMMERSIVE RESILIENCE: BODY - MIND - SPIRIT - TECH workshop
with Jorge Crecis, Diego Marín, and Annette Brandanger
Monday 15 June - Friday 19 June
This five-day laboratory takes resilience not as a destination but as a daily practice — something that must be trained, nurtured and sustained across four interconnected dimensions: Body, Mind, Spirit and Technology. Together these dimensions create the conditions for long-term artistic sustainability: the capacity to continue making work, caring for oneself and contributing to the wider cultural ecology.
