STICKY Productions is a collective of queer, female, dance artists based in Norway. Their practice delves into the bodily and the sensitive, the playful and the peculiar. Using the receptive and expressive body to investigate their subject matter, their performances play between literal and abstract to offer audiences proximity to imagination and opportunity to kinesthetically absorb stories.
The artists met at Laban in London, and share a drive to create environmentally conscious work that centres new or untold narratives. Between 2020-22, STICKY created their first work Økohelter, which by the end of their Dansenett Norge tour in 2024 will have played 100 times. STICKY is currently in development of their new dance work OOZE, approaching nature from a Queer Perspective. Through an imaginary, sensory, and somatic journey into the world of slugs, we invite sexuality, sex, fluidity and transformation into the room.
In 2024 Økohelter was nominated for 2 Hedda awards in the categories Best Children's Performance and Best Dance Performance.
In 2023 Økohelter was nominated for Sustainability Hero of the Year by Scenekunstbruket's Guljerven Awards.
STICKY Productions were part of 2023-24 cohort of the international residency programme, Moving Identities in the development of OOZE.
