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
I How to read water #3 skaper dansekunstner Anna Thu Schmidt, musiker Thea Ellingsen Grant og billedkunstner Mina Paasche en tverrkunstnerisk forestillingsopplevelse – et tidløst, meditativt rom integrert i et naturlig miljø. Med utgangspunkt i egen praksis utforsker kunstnerne hvordan havet resonnerer i oss, og oversetter forbindelsen man føler til havet til en forbindelse mellom utøver og publikum.
Ved å sette spørsmålstegn ved menneskehetens egosentriske syn når det gjelder vår plass på denne planeten fremstiller kunstnerne et hybrid og inkluderende perspektiv med en interdisiplinær danseinstallasjon som linse.
Forestillingen starter med en spasertur til forestillingsstedet som er utendørs ved Rotvollfjæra.
Oppmøte utenfor Rotvoll Kunstnerkollektiv, Arkitekt Ebbells veg 22
NB: Forestillingen er utendørs. Ta med klær etter været, og gjerne et sitteunderlag om du har!

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 translating 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.
