A event held at The Mount Without on Saturday 15th July. The event starts at 15:00.
Into the long Summer evenings we go.
To finish the 'I, we and wider' week we are super pleased to be bringing the award-winning H2Dance Company to the Mount Without with their beautiful work - Vi & Oss & Andre.
Vi & Oss & Andre is an interactive performance for families and young people.
Different groups of children occupy the stage space wearing headphones where they are instructed live by two adult performers. They are led through a series of choreographed meetings based on seeing and being together, creating shapes and movements - sometimes alone and other times in groups and pairs. Choosing how they respond they will together create a spontaneous choreography. The children become the performers of the work and go through different stages where they will observe, take a stand, collaborate, watch and dance with each other. They cooperate in silence only with the help of appearance, body language and reactions as a guide.
The work seeks to create space for spontaneity, creativity and surprise and open a room that encourages empathy through a shared experience.
"What Gillgren and Rustgaard manage to do with their humorous, endearing yet provocative work is avoid sentimentality or emotional overload. There is poignancy, texture, reflection and naughtiness." (Staging Ages)

About H2DANCE
H2DANCE is choreographer/ performer duo Hanna Gillgren (SE) and Heidi Rustgaard (NO), working between Norway, Sweden and the UK since 1999. Their work sits in between performance and dance and can be characterised as interdisciplinary, often taking a humorous approach to serious subject matters.
Hanna and Heidi have an ongoing fascination with meetings of differences, exploring ways in which we negotiate hierarchy, conformity, power and manipulation. Taking their own collaboration as a starting point, the work explores two distinct and different characters and voices co-existing, agreeing to disrupt each other during process and performance. Interested in deconstruction, breaking down the hierarchy between performers, light, set, sound and costume, their work is presented in and outside the black box, sometimes with Hanna and Heidi as performers, and other times in collaboration with professional dancers and amateurs.
Their work is often informed by workshops and conversations with people of different ages and backgrounds, and these encounters influence and inform the ideas and aesthetics of the work.
