Workshop in Kabelvåg, Lofoten, Norway

Collaboration with Elisabeth Færøy Lund og Eleanor Clare.
The workshop was a preperation to the conference A Voice and Something Else which took place in Aberystwyth, Wales, in January 2014.
We spend the week doing different exercises with the intention to get a better understandment of the voice.
Some of the key words have been communication and language; also how to translate from one form of expression to another. One of the days we spend in silence in order to feel how it is to be voiceless and I found that it is both releiving and frustrating. We tested out many ways of commucating through movement, sound and listening.
The amazing nature in the surrounding area gave a great energy to the workshop.     


I found that the verbal language is a way of processing everything one does and thinks. This way one could say that we create a distance to what we experience. The verbal language is a way of rationalizing, understanding and explaining.
