Lisa Lie Considering collegial exchange, informal peer-to-peer/practice-to-practice learning, and attempts at friendship as a fundamental part of our remit, UKS introduced a new, weekly walk-in-workshop in January 2019, called HOW TO PRACTICE? Starting off the workweek every Monday morning at 10am during exhibition periods, rotating local and international practitioners in the cultural field teach their conspicuous version of this essential question, serving up their tricks and toolboxes, fears and desires, excel sheets, or yoga positions as UKS serves free coffee. For UKS' sixteenth walk-in-workshop, Oslo-based performer, theater director, and writer LISA LIE (b. 1980) will talk about how her mode of production borrows methods from choreography and musical composition. Lie takes a holistic approach to text-based theater and performing arts, making dramaturgically multi-layered works in which a variety of narrative threads run simultaneously. A point of departure when creating a new piece is often the creative performer. Lie is concerned with recreating ties to a shared mythology and ritual practice, creating a different kind of compositional logic—akin to that of dreams and magical thinking, underlying the experience of the everyday. #16 How to Practice? took place on 17.06.2019 www.uks.no/archive/how-to-practice/ www.uks.no/archive/16-htp-lisa-lie/
