MOSEDANS // MOSS DANCING (2024)
A character rises from the moss. Guided by heavy beats and an enchanting song, she moves intuitively to this ethereal music landscape. As a creative side project from the main feast, this dance video enhances the thematics of light and darkness, growth and decline, power and vulnerability of the track.

Background story:
Ann Kathrin joined autumn 2023 Ragnarok Film and Gabbarein on a three day adventure in Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal, Norway. Dancing in a smoky forest, a windy and rainy beach, up a mountain, into a cave and dancing in a waterfall. The making of the Ra Raising Sun Music video was a trip to remember.

SO YOU THINK YOU ARE BORED (2020)
If you explore boredom, are you really bored?
Do you become ironic? and could there be anything good with this exploration too?
Our performance of the creation When they come for me got pandemic cancelled. I then asked the dancers if they could explore boredom for me towards a wall, from their homes.
Dancers: Marte Aspas Krog, Ingrid Langsun Tengesdal, Jøran Ravndal and Ann Kathrin Granhus
REFLECTIONS:
Dance on video is something I have been doing all my carriere. I have, as many dancers, learned as a go and figured things out on the way: Earliest Video Projects. Carefully recording my work (though with different grade of qualities sometimes…) and made creative videos. I have also edited all show/work reels you see on my webpage.
The live format is my absolutely preferred performative choice, but as technology and “SoMe ” is a big part of our lives, it become also a place to reach an audience. Dance on film has also several other good aspects, ex you get closer to the performer than you ever will seeing them on stage.
Some videos are not on this page. Since I have choosen to categorize them as live creation projects, that also has an edited film element to them, like: Lets get through this and Get ready for the rain
