Sindri Runudde ^(Swe) A Sensory Lecture 4-6 May 2022

Programme

"A sensory lecture" is a solo performance with and by Sindri Runudde, where we meet five voices in metaphorical dating scenarios. The performance is about auditory romance and love at first sound wave, a kind of play with sound, and especially the voice, as touch. Through dance, conversation and movement exercises, the audience is invited to a sensual and sensory lecture with humour, imagination and sensitivity.

Together with the composer Marta Forsberg Sindri has been exploring and playing with the voicemail phenomenon. They have explored the culture of sounding versus written SMS and looked with curiosity at the intimacy of the voice message.

The work and the project is based on Sindri's exploration of the practice of movement. "Centered Adventures", which is based on a tactile and auditory perspective. The audience is invited to try this practice during the performance, guided by Sindri.
