In the nomination text, The Hedda Jury described U-dub - Exercises in the art of surviving a state of emergency as follows:

"A situation in which regular laws and rules are set aside, often caused by sudden disaster, is labelled a state of emergency. The dramaturgy of a state of emergency removes the security net and makes each and every one responsible. In the performance, which was given a local award for performing arts in Bergen in 2015, the dub genre's musical strategies, frames of thinking and ways of working, are transferred to the stage in an expanded mix of use of space, video, sound, movement, action, play and audio play."
