In Mexico

 


We have been carrying out research in Mexico in January and will be in residency at El Dia D, Queretaro, January 21 – February 12, 2024. During this time we will be working with artists and choreographers from Mexico and Canada and developing new work. Together artists, dancers and musicians will investigate the overlaps between Sami and Mexican cultures and ontologies and use these to create new visual, musical and dance expressions.

New Movement Workshop in Bergslagen

  Jonas Engman who has worked in Sami shamanic traditions all his adult life will lead a workshop at Teatermaskinen June 14-17, 2025. During the workshop the group will focus on how contemporary sound and music can be incorporated into traditional Sami and Kven traditions and ceremonies, as well as how contemporary stage performers can learn from Sami and Kven practices. In the process the team (which include practitioners from theatre, dance, music and visual art) will use new technology that measure the bodily processes of the participants as well as the movements of the surrounding nature.) The workshop will be held in a traditional Sami Kåta. The workshop will include public performance in on June 15 and offers a unique opportunity to experience traditional animism in dialogue with cutting edge performative expressions. If you want to experience the performance, please write us on info [at] visionforum.eu.

Xleph in residency in Sweden

Ikfkos’s musical collective Xleph will be in residency at Teatermaskinen May 14-20. They will investigate if music and hypnotherapy together help us to be stronger in the formulation of our own relationship to nature today. They will do so by recording material under hypnosis which will be shaped into their first studio album. The individual members of the collective will also perform a public concert on May 18.
