This is an open invitation to become a part of a dance company. In this company we take very seriously our capacity for playing, imagining, provoking, and expanding our movement. This company functions upon a desire to re-imagine what dance can be and how might one approach it. The basic function of this project is the scoring system presented below; click on ‘create score’ to reveal your next possible prompt.
There is no right or wrong way of interpreting them but there is an intention to enkindle imaginative modes in your bodily capacities. You can decide to use this score however you see fit, alone, together, as a game, as a tool for movement research, as a prompt for creativity in other fields, in any case, I invite you to take seriously your playfulness and allow yourself to enjoy the non-sense.
There is nothing to be done except for playing but this is also an open invitation for collaboration. Several members of the company across the world have shared with me their takes on the scores which I used to create an installation for a dance performance. If you wish to do so or have any other suggestions to collaborate with this project feel free to contact me.
As part of the Process of documentation of this project I made a tangible portfolio. A way of bringing this conceptual devise to material form. Together with my dear friend and amazing designer Bjørn Thomas Karmann we hand-made this box (<3)
Here is the video of the result:
Here the transcription of the invitations within the box:
The time of a plant
Yours is not the only time in the world. The speed with which you incorporate life is not the only one in the world. Viruses are faster, trees are slower. Yield your perspective on time to another’s vision.
Plant a seed, protect and foster growth.
As you wait, the box is yours to use.
When a plant grows, repot it. Move it to a larger space.
Get new seeds, fair, re-stock.
Put the tiny pots back.
You followed the time of another being, made yourself to it.
