the artistic research
Humming scape is a research project facilitated and choreographed by Roosa Törmä, where the act of humming serves as the central practice from which movement and interaction with the scenography will emerge.
In this research, the working group delves into movement through the act of humming. There is a desire to explore the imaginations and emotions associated with humming when it intersects with dance. In addition to humming and moving, the working space will be filled with fishing nets and other materials that emerge through the research process.
Textiles will be examined to understand how they can interact with the moving body and how they can be used to bring people together - for example, by having everyone, including the audience, hold the same net. The project is curious about the associations between community and the act of humming.
Throughout the week, a sparring partner, the social anthropologist Thea Skaanes, will be involved, contributing insights to the process.
the artists
The group of artists all graduated from The Danish National School of Performing Arts (2021-2022) and has a history of researching short projects collectively. This is the first time one of them is inviting others into her own research. The group is excited to see what will emerge when their experience of working together meets Törmäs research.
This group of artists have been invited into residency through the open call IN PROCESS - Injections #3, whose focus was to support artists working in the performing arts who are interested in inviting in new perspectives, knowledge and experience from people they do not know, to influence their artistic process. The open call was curated in collaboration with Trine Sørensen from Åbne Scene.
