Zero Visibility Corp
zero visibility corp. is a contemporary dance company based in Oslo, Norway which was founded in 1996 by its choreographer Ina Christel Johannessen and lighting and set designer, Jens Sethzman. Their productions are developed from improvisation with a stylistic approach that has overtones of martial arts and acrobatics, between art-dance and pop-dance, "pure dance" and theatrical dance, humorous and serious dance.[1][2]
With its particular choreographic style, their work is based on films, literature and news stories which combine to generate an intentional ambivalence about diverse themes, creating material in close dialogue with everyone involved. Zero Visibility works with artist within experimental electronic music.[3][4] The company has toured its work internationally, in Europe, Australia, the United States, and Canada and has become one of Norway's most internationally recognised dance companies.[5] Their work has been featured in several notable arts and contemporary dance festivals, including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Scotland; NOTT Dance, UK; Fierce!, UK; and euro-scene, Germany.[6]
