Henriette Slorer has produced projects of her own in cooperation with artists including Håkon Austbø and she has worked as an actress.
Henriette Slorer won The Norwegian Critics' Award (dance) 2002/2003 for her contribution to Flimmer/Pretty Ugly.
"This year the award winner is a female dancer who is in possession of enough stage charisma and technical abilities. Enough to carry the main focus of the audience through a full performance.
[...]
The American choreographer Amanda Miller's work Pretty Ugly will never be the same again after this particular dancer's involvement. As the only woman among four boys she delivered a harmonic and searching, but also bone tough, self-confident and demanding role interpretation.
I quote from the dance critic Fredrik Rütter's review in Aftenposten May 24: 'She moves very challenging in the same overdone style as the boys with long steps and forward-looking eyes. With a long, red skirt, a black, see-through top, pitch black hair and a dramatic expression in her movements, plus an expressive face, she is very visible in the landscape. If that shouldn't be enough, she dances almost divine.' End of quote.
Her memorable efforts in the abovementioned performance decided the allocation of this year's award. But it is with great gratitude for many performances, in which this dancer has taken part, that I stand her today."

In May 2007 Slorer was awarded the prize of Carte Blanche Venneforening (Friends of Carte Blanche).
