dead dead document
An ongoing research initiated by Oda Brekke carried out in collaboration with Lisa Schåman and Tuuli Vahtola. This project proposes a practice that oscillates between writing and dancing. It asks how fragmentation can be studied as a choreographic means by exploring various forms of waste and rest products as resilient actors, poetic landscapes and metaphors constituting a generative language in performance.
