Conferance program
Pattie Belle Hastings is currently working on our workstation for video, image and sound with the project Tactical Nomadic Storytelling. The project will culminate with a performance at the International Storytelling Day on 20th March at 6:30 pm at Kunstnernes Hus.
Projections
TNS (for short) is an art project that combines live storytelling and props with mobile digital media (visual and audio). Pattie Belle Hastings is currently in residence at Atelier Nord creating a mobile storytelling projection unit and a series of trickster stories that combine video/animation, audio, mobile devices and live performance. These digital live art experiences will be designed to be performed strategically and spontaneously at tram stops, T-Bane stations, corners, alleys, bathrooms - virtually any spot on the street or any unexpected place around Oslo. The first iterations of the stories will debut on March 20th - World Storytelling Day. Time and place will be announced later.
