Moment is within momentous

MOMENT IS WITHIN MOMENTOUS is an invitation to a dancing practice within absurdity. It works in and out of visibility and pushes against the notion of a steady self. At the center of the practice is an interest in how the small throwaway thing is the big thing. How do moments accumulate over time and what do they form that we cannot foresee or control?

This sharing takes place as a performance at SKH in studio 16 at Brinellvägen 58, as well as an installation in the Storage Closet next to the Pilates room at B58, a publication, and a one-off collaborative event at Skeppsholmsstudion.

“Scores of geese go and the open sky holds—” --from the poem titled Your Own Duets (Your Dream of Flying)
