The Odd Ones
The Odd Ones är en föreställning som utforskar individualitet, social dynamik och att hitta tillhörighet från perspektivet “annorlunda” och allt vad det innebär. De fula och icke-tilltalande sidorna tillsammans med det fantastiska och beundransvärt unika.
Tre vitt skilda individer (en akrobat, en samtida dansare, en breakdancer), med olika sätt att kommunicera och uttrycka sig, blir inblandade i en social och fysisk dans där de långsamt behöver förstå, lära sig av, kommunicera, samarbeta och till och med kanske ha kul med människor som inte är som dem själva. Föreställningen rör sig mellan det vackra och det icke-estetiska, det roliga och det sårbara, med en stor dos av det annorlunda genom det hela.
Syftet med föreställningen är att motverka den ökande polariseringen i samhället genom att visa att du både kan vara sann till dig själv och dina rötter, samtidigt som du kan förstå, anpassa dig till och lära dig komma överens med folk som inte är dig lik.

Preparation
Build up should ideally start 5 hours or earlier before performance time. – Build up of light plot, legs & curtains & framing of lights: Estimated 1,5-2 hours. – 1,5-2 hours of light creation and technical run through. There are 23 light cues (19 settings) and 8 sound cues. Light plan available as .shw file for DMX and .gz file for MA tables. – All technical preparation should be finished at latest 1 hour before performance. Example: – 15:30-17:15: Light plot build up & focusing of lights – 17:15-19:00: Create lights & technical run – 19:00-19:30: Dinner break – 20:30: Performance 1 hour of warm up & preparation before performance. The space for warm up needs to be near or at room temperature with sufficient enough space for warming up acrobatically. The warm-up space can be the stage. If that is not possible, a recommended minimum is 7×5 meters. Stage 9x7m stage minimum is preferred. 8x6m is a possible minimum but less preferred. Height should be a minimum of 3 meters. We need legs/screens by the sides of the stage so we can appear and disappear, and ideally a curtain in the back we can walk behind. However if no curtain behind can be arranged it is not a problem. With small adaptations we can play the show without it. The floor needs to be flat and even with no cracks, bends or unstable areas, due to the inherently dangerous nature of acrobatics and the injury risks associated with it. Floor is ideally wooden underneath or a similarly soft material with black dance floor on top. Harder floor may be possible but less preferred. Wooden floor with no covering is possible if it is smooth and even. Feel free to contact Simon for further discussion. Lights 6 Par floor lamps, general hanging lights, one central spotlight,4-6 overhead LED-lamps. Contact Simon for light plot. A simpler light plot/plan can be devised if needed. We would like to work with the house technician(s) for sound and light. Audience Recommended for ages 10 and up. It is not specifically made for family/young audiences but does work for them. We have had a work in progress showing for younger audiences at Volkstheater where it was rather positively received by young kids. The weird propositions and playful nature of the show makes it accessible and interesting for younger audiences as well. Number of performances Due to the highly physical nature and length of the performance there is a maximum of 2 shows per day. Over 2 days (in a row) there is a maximum limit of three performances set. Over 3 days (in a row) there is a maximum limit of four performances set. If spread over a longer period of performing the number of performances is open for discussion, contact Simon to talk further. Outdoor version The performance can also be performed outdoors, considering a floor in line with our technical requirements, screens/legs/something we can disappear behind on the sides of the stage and a sound system can be provided. In this case only the sound plan is relevant, and as such one sound technician is enough. This also changes the setup time to minimum 2 hours before the performance. 1 hour for technical setup and technical run for sound and one hour of warm-up before the performance. 25 minute version The show is also available as a “lighter” extract. It features three scenes which are all lighter/more playful. Suitable for a double/triple bill, festival settings and where the audience is a more general, non-arts experienced audience.
