Shake it Collaborations (SiC) is a Sweden based, internationally working company operating in the fields of performance, dance, theatre, film, radio and TV.
Shake it Collaborations functions as a platform to share artistic ideas, administration and economy. The platform also provides means for research and a creative context for invited collaborators through its projects. The company is expanding and reshaping, from project to project, depending on the different collaborators. SiC initiates its own projects in addition to commissioned works.
The SiC projects often host an intrinsic critique to power structures in society, and they often investigate body and identity politics. Furthermore, they often propose alternatives on how to shake up the existing formats of theatre and social conventions. Instead of departing from one expression, SiC starts from a concept and then chooses the most suitable form and format to address the topic and context. The expressions range from radio and text-based theatre via movement, dance and circus, to installations and pieces focused on audience participation etc etc.

Shake it Collaborations / S.A.D. (2016)
S.A.D. is an invitation into concentric circles – circles of different bodies, circles looking, holding, and transmuting together and alone. Pulling up, in, around, re-enacting the 60s, 70s, 90s, yesterday, carrying big objects, tributing sexy ancestors, and interrupting structure with boring feminist intervention. We search for S.A.D., acknowledging that grief is inevitable and too damn […]
