How to read water #3
17 + 18 August 2021 at Trondheimfjord
Concept/choreography/dance: Anna Thu Schmidt
Sound: Thea Ellingsen Grant
Visuals: Mina Paasche
Co-produced by: DansiT
Supported by: Trondheim Kommune
In How to read water #3 dance artist Anna Thu Schmidt, musician Thea Ellingsen Grant, and visual artist Mina Paasche create a multidisciplinary performance experience, a timeless, meditative space integrated with the natural environment. Each artist explores within their own field how the sea resonates in us and translates the connection one feels to the ocean, to a connection between performer and audience. By questioning the egocentric view of human nature regarding its place on the planet we propose a hybrid and inclusive perspective through the lens of an interdisciplinary dance installation. The performance starts with a collective walk to the outdoor performance location near Rotvollfjæra.
Presented as one-on-one performances in the morning and as outdoor performance of 50 min. in the evening.
“One day I’m going to stand in a thousand grains for a thousand days maybe a thousand years
I’ll wave to myself and fossil time
I’ll wave myself in…”
