Workshop for people with some dance experience
24 Feb
19:00
There is no point. There is a work. A collaboration.
A dance like a dance. And a concert. A dance performance. With text.
Some time. Some place. Not here. I remember plastic. A fan. Soda machine.
Maybe a road.
Maybe a river.
Face into the ground.
From side to side.
From the outside.
The floor brushes the fingers.
The fingers touch the heart.
When the body dances, I realise that I am not it.
Not mine.
Loose yourself to dance.
There is no point.
In co-production with Dansens Hus and Riksteatern.

Dream of weightlessness among swinging fluorescent tubes
The oscillation of the arms mirrors the movement of the fluorescent tubes as they are suspended from the ceiling and set in motion.
