13.00-16.00: performance program
16.00-17.00: informal discussion.

Performance protocols is an interdisciplinary platform for instruction-based art and performative processes. From 2020 to 2022, performance protocols are presenting a series of Nordic events where this edition was collaboration with Performance Art Bergen. The event took place at Skomakerdiket, Fløyen, in Bergen with natural/cultural environments as its theme.
This theme explores what nature-culture relations mean in an environmental context, and here specifically in the context of the location - having nature nearby though shaped by its cultural context and infrastructures for city-dwellers and tourists.

For this performance protocols event, we invited two members of PAB to create and perform instruction-based performances that deal with the environment in relation to Bergen's positioning with nature and culture colliding, how they affect each other.

The two artists from PAB was:

Hans Christian van Nijkerk with the participatory performance "#Influenced".
Ingeborg Blom Andersskog with the score "When I move I change" which will be performed by another member of PAB.
