Sharing

Yesterday we presented some of the outcomes of our residency in a work in progress sharing to a small group of people at Dansbyran. Also present at the sharing were choreographers Moa Sahlin and Paula de Hollanda who together with Marika Hedemyr own and run the studio as a cooperative.

The sharing was encouraging, with the audience generously contributing their responses and own ideas to our performance. There was a sense that everyone wanted to see the next stage of development.

We had broken up the movement material with projections of visuals which we used as starting points, and also our own drawings which we used in the translation process. This format made it very comfortable and relaxing for us to perform, reminding us of the moments when we created the materials. It was reassuring that that same feeling crossed over to the audience. We started to think about ways of how the audience could participate.
