LYN, a performance for the dead of night.
6.30am Feb 16th, 2016 Gamla Stans Tunnelbana. Facebook event
LYN, a performance for the dead of night, is a 45-minute solo performed by Lyn Bentschik starting at 6.30am outside at Gamla Stans Tunnelbana. Lyn and Peter explore being in the world when the world sleeps during the early hours and move to feel the world wake.
During the solo performance you will walk silently through the cobbled paths, roads and passages of Gamla Stan. Following each other in a line as you are guided, and taken into and through the darkness, using walking as a movement to explore the inescapable and potentiality of the situation we find ourselves, falling from gravity, off balance and catching ourselves controlled and subject to the momentum of history, time and hidden directions of love interest and longing, together we navigated the heart of our situation, in the heart of Stockholm.
This is a non-funded project, and so we ask for a donation of 80kr.
You must let us know if you are coming.
Message us at Peter Mills or peterapeterpeter@gmail.com
please note:
The performance walk will be outside for up to one hour. Please bring appropriate attire.
Peter Mills, the artist PETER, is exploring how we exist in the world. Using reformulation Peter devises an alternative form through which to understand the body’s/a person’s activities and place in the world. I have known Lyn for three years, when she approached me with interest in my practices, work, performances and future. We talked and met over a year, and tried to understand our situations in the world. After conversations about what we can do politically, socially and personally we wanted to work directly with our audience and take our conversation to the street.
Lyn is a dancer, ledsagare and long-sleeper originally from Switzerland. Starting out with Oriental Dance and 5 Rhythms she went to Copenhagen after her high school graduation to attend Copenhagen Contemporary Dance School, followed by the three year dance education at DOCH in Sweden. She is fascinated by the intelligence and communication between bodies and developed „The Balancing Practise“ during her last year in the BA to dig deeper in this interest. She performed with pieces by Becky Hilton, Emanuel Gat, Jefta van Dinther, Christian Duarte and Runa Norrheim and approached PETER for a collaboration after her graduation. Besides that she is interested in the depth of life and enjoys simplicity as a tool to dig deeper with an ever-online and very associative brain.
Peter Mills is a choreographer, dancer, performer, artist, activist, researcher, teacher and mentor. Peter has a masters in choreography from Dans och Cirkushögskolan, where he worked on choreography through documentation as an ethical practice, towards anti-authoritarian ideals.
