DOCUMENTARY FILM: COLLECTIVE CO-CREATION

11. oktober 2023

How do you work with collective co-creation both organizationally and artistically? What is a bubble management structure? How can collective co-creation develop and expand artists’ methods and creativity? What do co-creation and jazz have in common? What are the challenges of collective co-creation? As the culmination of experiences from BETTY DEVELOPS’ first four-year collaboration with The Bikuben Foundation on the development of innovative performing arts and new methods for collective co-creation, we shed light on these questions in a brand-new documentary film.

The collective as a driving force and resistance

An integral part of BETTY DEVELOPS is to share the central findings from our artistic research into collective co-creation and the artistic vision that the Betty Nansen Theatre works with. Therefore, we teamed up with documentary filmmakers Laurits Flensted-Jensen and Kristian Foldager to create a short documentary film about collective co-creation. The documentary follows the development of the performances I AM GOLD and ILIADEN. The purpose is to illuminate the collective process as both a driving force and resistance and to show how many professional disciplines co-create collectively and cross-aesthetically.
