Together with dancer Even Eileraas and musicians Sverre Breivik and Vetle Junker, Ole Kristian Tangen develops a new performance at Samvirket i Fjaler. They then come to Bergen to show an excerpt from the process at Prøverommet.
The project begins somewhere in the bodily and sensory experience of stillness and transition, drawing on a personal experience that to varying degrees has helped to redefine Tangen’s understanding of body, time and presence. Through different approaches to physicality and the use of sound, they will investigate how a physical vacuum is experienced, and how tactility and touch become a tool for navigating through the unknown.
What spontaneous bodily reactions emerge in moments of paralysis, – and in the subsequent process of regaining control and sensuality? What happens in the encounter between two bodies, when one movement supports, explores or challenges the other? How can music and sound mirror or disrupt the physical experience of balance, loss and reconstruction?
Through an open process where physicality, tactile sensory impressions and bodily relationships become the driving force for the artistic material, the goal is to develop a physical and sonic dialogue that lays the foundation for further scenic production.
