Land Dance Copenhagen – Copenhagen Dream House

Engaging Copenhageners in re-thinking their connections with the landscapes we are surrounded by, meeting at the crossroads between urban and natural.

JUNE 21-27th Copenhagen @ Refshaleøen
– open workshops, performances and concerts

LAND DANCE COPENHAGEN is an adventurous artistic journey in to local environments, the cross fields of urban nature and architecture, into dance and music. The project is a co-creation between local and international performers and musicians.
This LAND DANCE journey engages with the coastal landscapes of our city. We connect through the body, to each other, to the elements of nature, to the history of the lands, present, past and future. We work with instant composition and dance improvisation.
The LAND DANCE project has traveled the Danish and Italian islands and countryside, now reaching Copenhagen.
Our work is site specific, engaging with urban and nature settings with an investigative and curious approach. How are human bodies interacting interacting with our habitat, man made and nature merging and transforming
In the company of amazing dancers and musicians, LAND DANCE engage Copenhageners in re-thinking their connections with the landscapes we are surrounded by.

INFO Performances :
TONOS PRIMEVOS (La Peña) by Dasha Lavrennikov
A body that allows itself to be transformed- into fluxes of color, traces of lines and curves, primary tones – disfiguring themselves in search of origins beyond what was always named and externally categorized as their nationality and identity. Allowing oneself to experience ones own essence and imagination, feeling and being colours, textures and tones.
The body is guided by its peripheries – sensory tentacles – capturing the environment. The dancers migrates and instantly composes, reading chromatics, sounds, and spatio-textural landscapes, engaging with elements and forces, visible, invisible.
Performed and created by Dasha Lavrennikov, Spain

LAND DANCE performance and concert
Participatory dance walks, both meditative and full of life, be curios, be silent, be present, move, dance, sit or walk, as you like. What is calling you, what is interesting to touch, to feel the structure, hear the sound.
Beautiful dancers and musicians are illuminating your path.

Sound Journey, through the history of Refshaleøen, by Andreas Bennetzen
“Tag med på en auditiv rejse gennem de mangeartede historiske lag som Refshaleøen rummer.
Fra Flådens kanoner og støvletramp til nutidens party -og fritidskultur.
Lyt til lydene fra Danmarkshistoriens største Skibsværft: B&W og hør hvordan lyden af den karakteristiske landvinding, der kendetegner områdets specielle status som evigt foranderligt forvandles til beats”
