Shadowland

År: 2023

Type prosjekt: Stagecraft

Lys og rom: Gard Gitlestad

«Shadowland responds to an increasingly unstable post-pandemic world. It is a poetic investigation of a continuum, as well as the body moving through loss. Visually and conceptually inspired by the work of Norwegian visual artist Jan Groth, Shadowland centers around a series of solo dance practices, aiming toward an expression that is both abstract and poetic, and emphasizing the affective and energetic power of movement. The distinct solos Hoaas has created with each dancer in Shadowland appear in fluctuating constellations, forming choreographic bricolages and larger kinetic events. The resulting dance performance becomes a web of various assemblages and shifting formats. Shadowland is performed by three dancers along with choreographer Hoaas.»
