Residency week 19 / 2025

How can one create movement material using text as a catalyst? During this residency, Lisa Teige and Synne Erichsen will explore exactly that, immersing themselves in the spontaneous dance that emerges. Using texts about outer space as a starting point, they will experiment with how to convey stories about the infinitely vast to young children.
