With Don't Panic Magnhild Rem Fossum and Omar Rajeh wanted to display another image of Lebanon than what TV and news provide, despite the drama they experienced. Don't Panic is a production about dreams, disappointments, aggression and powerlessness, and about the surroundings shaping and limiting our lives.
Magnhild Rem Fossum comes from Trondheim, and was educated at London Contemporary Dance School in 1998. Later she has worked with Stellaris Dance Theatre and several English companies. In 2004 she made her choreographer debut with her stage production Dislocated.
Don't Panic was supported by The Audio Visual Fund, Arts Council Norway, The Fund for Performing Artists, the county of Sør-Trøndelag and the municipality of Trondheim.
