A creation of two artist from two different continents that meet and dance togheter for the first time. Different training and histories, yet, so similar. 

THE WORK:

We are both very musical and form based. In this week we worked on rythm, dynamic, collaboration, weight use, listening and sensing, breathing. As well as saying yes to all the ideas that came , build on and going for them.

BACKGROUND:

We met in one of my first freelance years. When I had Amsterdam as my base. We had thought a drag towards creating together, but no time. Then I moved to Norway, Years later in spring 2019, we found time to collaborate. The choice fell on her comming to my town: Sandnes. This week was a little pre-project to see how we would work together. Especially considering that we  come from: Different continents and have different training and schools. What we saw is that somehow we a lot of surprising similarities in our movement!  Briana  learned my material very easily and our movement looked  similar, This exchange where fruitful. I also got to try her style called “stepping”.
