Sisters Academy
Sisters Hope for the Future The two twin sisters are the head mistresses of Sisters Academy. Performed by Gry Worre Hallberg and Anna Lawetz. Both operating in the intersection of art, educational development, research and activism. - A storm rages outside, but behind sturdy walls, the sisters are doing important experiments: while the old world is falling apart, they investigate what values to base the new world on. A long time ago, the sisters became aware that something would happen to the world they knew, and so they formed a school – Sisters Hope. Since then, they have inspired youths from the entire nation, nourished the ground and planted special seeds. The time has ripened. It is ripe. It is time for the birth of Sisters Academy, the unity of inspirations, the reaping of visions – A place open to fresh and fleshy ideas. A place where the dream you just dreamed is as important as the breath you take. A place where the ambience touches your soul as the light fades. A place where memories of the past is turned into hope for the future‌ The future is here

New visions for
reating Sisters Academy started with Sisters Hope. Since they have evoled into a large-scale projekt. The method used to experiment with the production of more sensuous knowledge production is performance art – And more specifically the tradition of immersive, interactive and interventionist performance art. The method is immersive in the sense that a whole school is being immersed into a otherworldly place that activate the senses and allow us to think and feel radically different from everyday life. Everything from classrooms, hallways and bathrooms is transformed physically through set-design, light-design and sound-design. Furthermore, the method is interactive in the sense, that once you are at the school, you are perceived as a student or teacher or guest of Sisters Academy and The Sisters and performance staff of the group will engage with you in this sense. You leave your everyday persona to explore your potential poetic self while investigating how we can evoke and activate the senses and emotions to deepen the learning experience. And finally, the method is interventionist in the sense that The Sisters will often intervene into everyday life contexts using art to argue the need for the aesthetic dimension to be an integrated part of everyday life – Not as something exclusive and autonomous. In that way the method is a method with a very articulated social agenda.

The New Vision
next
Sisters Academy will first manifest as an interactive, immersive and interventionist performance-installation where participants can sign up as students at the boarding school of a Sensuous society manifest at Inkonst. In the process we will also be in close dialogue with the educational and political environment in the area and make an agreement with a Malmรถ-based school of which we will come to take over the leadership.
