ULTIMATE WARZONE
Ultimate Warzone was an Independent production at Norwegian Theatre Academy spring 2007. It was a collaboration
between actors and scenographers where we were all co-creators and
performers of the piece. We worked on the topic strategy-games in an
outdoor performance on the green hills surrounding the old fortress town
of Fredrikstad. The participants were Erlend André Holtet , Tijmen
Legemaate, Grith Ea Jensen, Hanna Barfod, Lisa Hjalmarson, Lisa Eikran,
Karl Flyman and me Susanne Irene Fjørtoft.
Our concept was based on making rules for a game and sticking to them, both in the creation process and during the performance. These were the rules:
THEME
Abstract strategy boardgame / Contains an element of coincident besides choice / It has several rounds / We will decide the rules for one round / The game has seven players (whereof one can be chosen as leader) / There is a goal / There is a risk
SPACE
The room is built as we play / The audience shall experience the room from two different perspectives: From chaos (not order, black, ash, brown, ugly yellow) to structure (order, arabesk, purpur, karmosinread, indigoblue) / We will use hight
TIME
Cut from eternity, no start or end / Escalation of complexity / Rythm of crooked bikewheel.
