Movement workshop

Welcome to an interactive movement and sound journey with dance artist Anna Thu Schmidt and musician Thea Ellingsen Grant. In this workshop the artists give an insight into their project ‘How to read water’ that takes inspiration from the ocean. Themes as waves and water reflections will be explored through movement improvisation tasks while oceanic soundscapes will accompany our journey. Here you can explore movements both alone and in meeting with others. Dance experience is not required. The artists want to offer an open, free, and safe space for movement and sound exploration.

Performance
Saturday 6.7.2024 kl 20
As part of the project ‘How to read water’ dance artist Anna Thu Schmidt invites one spectator at the time for a one-on-one ocean walk and outdoor performance at the beach. The natural environment along the coast forms the setting for the encounter between one spectator and the dancer. The performance starts with a collective walk and leads to an improvised solo or duet that explores the relation between the human body and the ocean. Two bodies blend into the landscape and form a reality together in a shared space. Through a non-verbal dialogue we create a unique and personal experience. This format plays with the unknown and aspects around inclusion and exclusion by being conceptually inclusive, as well as offering an exclusive experience.

In ‘How to read water’ dance artist Anna Thu Schmidt, musician Thea Ellingsen Grant, and visual artist/VJ Mina Paasche create a multidisciplinary performance experience and invite you into a timeless and meditative space inside the black box of Fossekleiva Kultursenter. ‘How to read water’ takes inspiration from the relationship between the human body and the ocean. How the sea resonates in us is explored through music, dance and video and the connection one feels to the ocean is translated to a connection between performer and audience. Through the lens of an interdisciplinary dance installation we offer a space to relax and to reflect on humans’ relation to the ocean and environmental awareness.
