Jon Olav S. Gulbrandsen, Michael Schult Ulriksen
Jon Olav S. Gulbrandsen and Michael Schult Ulriksen are a directing duo that make Scandinavian dance films. They draw inspiration from Pina Bausch, DV8, Jonas Lindstrøm and Haruki Murakami. The central focus of their movement work is the balance between acting and dance. Where acting lacks the poetry of dance, and dance lacks the storytelling of acting. This is the field in which the duo works. Gulbrandsen has a degree in Theater Production and Acting from Nord University, while Ulriksen has a degree in Photography from the Norwegian School of Photography, specializing in staged portraits.
