Choreographer Hanna Gillgren (SE) and Heidi Rustgaard (NO) are organizing movement workshops at Nordic House, looking at meetings between different communities, ages and cultures.\u00a0 The workshops investigate how we interact, differences and similarities between ages and cultures as well as taboos and conventions. The workshops will result in a work in progress showing on Wednesday 18:00
\nEveryone can participate regardless of age, ability (minimum age: 7 years old. Any younger you will need a carer with you) and background. No dance or theatre experience is required.<\/p>\n

A work in progress showing will take place on the 29th<\/sup> of June at 18:00, and is open for audience. You should be available that day from 17.00. We would like all participants involved in this, and there will be a chance to meet and discuss the performance and the process with other participants, artists, friends and family.<\/p>\n

WHAT will we be doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the week H2DANCE will in collaboration with the participants develop a series of choreographic instructions that they respond to live during the performance using headphones. The instructions will aid the participants though a movement sequence, creating physical sculptures such as lines, tunnels and towers. The participants will step in and out of the sculptures allowing the shapes to constantly grow or shrink each time a person slots into or remove themselves from the sculpture, adjusting its shape and adding new perspectives<\/p>\n

We will also have discussions with the participants on the themes of expectations, prejudices, norms and taboos in relation to meeting, within their culture and\/or age, which will feed into and inspire the material we create together with them.<\/p>\n

Having worked with non-dancers and community participants in three separate projects and contexts over the last 6 years, H2DANCE<\/strong> have developed a way of working, which include and support participants. By employing simple improvisation tasks where anyone can join in such as walking, standing, sitting and laying, alongside ways of making physical contact between the participants and the audience, we have made work that is adaptable to the participant\u2019s ability.<\/p>\n
