FormBodyMaterials is a collaborative project by a dancer and a scenographer that explores the relationship between body and material.   

Washi, traditional Japanese paper, is a vital element throughout the project. On a microscopic scale, it is composed of individual fibres, each one like a living cell in a larger body. When these cells converge, they give rise to form, to structure. Washi’s cultural significance and versatility makes it an ideal medium for exploring form and impermanence. Its historical use in both art and everyday life bridges past and present.  

FormBodyMaterials highlights a living material as both static and dynamic—integral to the ongoing dialogue between body and environment. Minimalist elements, such as the dancer’s movements and the imprints of an environment, underscore the fluidity and impermanence of form.

Bio

Yohei Hamada is a Japanese dancer and choreographer in Bodø and Bergen. He works with the relationships between the body and the environment, creating dance-based performances with tools and objects. Hamada delves into the ‘living’ body as a phenomenon and its dance with materials. He holds a master’s degree in philosophy and a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts from Yokohama National University. 

Olga Regitze Dyrløv Høegh is a Danish scenographer and costume designer based in Copenhagen and Bergen. She works at the intersection of scenography, choreography and costume, often blending object, body and space into a moving image. Her work is an artistic and philosophical inquiry into the agency of things, in which she explores signs and systems of meaning. She holds a master’s degree in scenography from The Norwegian Theatre Academy – Østfold University College and a bachelor’s degree in design culture from the University of Southern Denmark.
