Aug 20-28. Inventory with Weld Company
See places and times here!
So much has changed during this spring and summer; our relationship with public space has, for instance, been radially altered. Places that were considered not important before, have transformed into becoming small pockets of freedom. Often these places are “non-places”, humble locations that people would pass by but would never stay or gather in. It is just these places that, during this spring, have offered us a new sense of calm – a space to move around in and breathe inside.
Our encounters with places have now been more centered around the experience of certain textures; its smell, how far it is away from home, how one can get to it, if one can be relatively alone there; that is to say the degree of breathing space that a place can offer, rather than its social significance. The landscapes around us – nature and parks, small slices of land near where we live – have recently taken on a whole new significance.
Inventory is a project by Weld that examines the potential of the space between the larger productions and artworks and the different structures that exist beyond our own workspace. The project highlights and reuses fragments from existing choreographies and works, and places these into different yet non-specific environments.
The first part of the project is created with Weld Company and makes us of its archive of choreographies in a shared testing of how the knowledge and history that we already carry within ourselves might be recreated and coupled with geographic locations – and with our new relationship with these.
A fragment sheds light both on the past and the present, and makes visceral the knowledge that nothing ever properly ends, just as nothing new can simply appear out of nowhere. Everything we do is connected throughout long, multifaceted cycles. With the first part of Inventory, we want to give fragments from our shared history something akin to a new life in different local places – or rather “non-places” – and examine the significance of our knowledge and our ways of being and acting.
Inventory questions dominant forms of production both within art and stage, where travel, increased publicity-focus, the use of material and the entire production-mode of thinking in itself needs to be further questioned and challenged.
A sense of safety, community and care towards our surroundings now stands out as crucial components for how we choose to act – not just now – but also for a long time to come.
Inventory was planned during 2019 and has had to be reformulated during this recent spring.
