First Phase Workshop

2009-04-09T04:16:00.000-07:00

we have successfully finished the first phase of the workshop, including a photo shoot with Rune Guneriussen, multiple film shoots with Anwar Saab and physical work on the sight; on the Net over the waterfall, in the tissue, in the Silo, building up the Red Cathedrals, placing Territorium on the river bank, and developing the plot which is to be concluded on the 2nd of May 2009.

earlier in the week we encountered an other swan, a big white one. We startet to collect white stones in the emty river...

We walked through the sight, looking at where the Net allready once had been attached, which was over the waterfall –under the bridge! The river was frozen when we attached it in February, so to see it now with a little running (white) water, gave us a thrill for how it will be to perform on the Net –with the waterfall in full speed, running through the lower end of the Net...

Further down we suddely saw something...

it was a dead swan...

trapped in the river-

how did it end up like this...

it kind of looked alive.. the body was trapped in the water, but the neck was still free and floting in the stream...

We felt a stange connection to the sight, or the sight was trying to give us a clue...

”Murder in Dreamland” er et nytt kunst konsept som tar utgangspunkt i en sight hvor et nett, fra The Net of Pas De Deux, av og med Fiskum og Adhana, skal henges over Vestfossen, og ytterlige involvere 11 tverrfaglige kunstnere og publikum i anledning sesongåpningen av Arena Vestfossen og Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium 2 mai 2009. Gjennom flere workshops hvor temaer og spørsmål skal utprøves, skal konseptet resulter i en 4 timers lang performance-installasjon, hvor dans og performance, skulpturer, installasjoner, lyd, tekst, video, og musikk skal utgjøre et nytt kollektivt kunstuttrykk som skal fremføres med nær tilnærming og indirekte medvirkning av publikum.

The project is co-production with Scenerommet, and is collaborating with Benedicte Schybaj, Jon Mihle, Sudesh Adhana, Ella Christina Fiskum, Danuta Haremska, Tomasz B. Ozdowski, Loan Tp Hoang, Morten Liene, Inger Reidun Olsen, Loverangers (Laura Christina Brøvig Vallenes and Kristina Knaben Hennestad), Elisabeth Nøkland Johansen, and Anwar Saab.
