Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki observe everyday situations and explore new artistic methods in their work. Recurring themes in their output are the dynamic between performer and audience, a non-hierarchical approach to the elements of performance, and both theatrical and non-theatrical environments. The current object of the artist duo’s interest is the division of space. Their site-specific performances ask how spatial practices affect the way we negotiate and experience private and public spaces.

Heine Avdal is a Norwegian artist living and working in Brussels, Belgium, whose media are contemporary dance, performance, video and visual art. Yukiko Shinozaki is a Japanese artist living and working in Brussels, Belgium. Avdal has created and produced over 20 performative art projects, most of them in collaboration with Yukiko Shinozaki. The duo’s cooperation has lasted over 20 years. Since their multi-disciplinary works embrace performance, dance, visual art, video, music and technology, they collaborate with other artists representing a variety of disciplines.

Avdal & Shinozaki’s performance Carry On will be organized in collaboration with Tanssin Aika festival in spring 2021.
