Med forventning om å styrke det uetablerte og den prøvende scenen i Bergen, ønsker jeg dere velkommen til sesongens første Prøverommet! Jeg ser frem til en spennende sesong med fine øyeblikk, følelser og dypere refleksjoner.
Jeg oppfordrer dere til å tenke langsiktig og bruke prøverommet som en mulighet for å utvikle, prøve og ikke minst våge å belyse omgivelsene våre og utforske kroppen vi lever i, vår eksistens og relasjoner til andre. I kunstens møte med tilskueren ligger det potensial for forandring, eksperimentering og uforutsigbarhet. Dessuten: Prøverommet er noe mer enn et visningsrom; det er ufullkommenhet og ønske om forandring som ligger bak konseptet. I høst vil jeg at vi undersøker hva Prøverommet kan være, fremfor hva det har vært. Det handler om å lage et rom som tåler overskridelse og virker utover seg selv. Slik kan kunst- og kulturfeltet vokse seg større og finne sin plass i vår teknologiske tidsalder.

Helena Waldmann «Emotional rescue - A dance film» (2005)
Helena Waldmann shot a 20-minute dance film with the Palestinian El-Funoun Dance group. Six dancers told Helena Waldmann the story of blockades and crimes against human-rights. From solitary confinement, checkpoints, from people who become crazy because they couldn't cope with the walls and locked doors; the prison in which they were forced to live in. They explained about members of their families who were shot to the ground by Israeli soldiers for no reason at all, from refugee camps and their homesickness for a home in which their grandparents once lived. Emotional rescue is necessary.
