Anna Wennerbeck: Softening - a choreographic exploration with trees
Trees are well anchored in the soil, they do not move! Yet they move all the time, they spread and they migrate.
What does it mean to take a tree’s perspective? Thinking of it, getting to know it, not from my perspective as a human being, but from the trees’ as something living, something different, that I can never really grasp.
Soft touching
elastic moving
gentle rocking releasing, recoiling, resting,
and connecting
My research has taken place outdoors. I have approached trees in different ways through tactile and kinesthetic sense - touching, being still with, being moved by, and moving.
The focus has been on exploring what kind of movements and choreographic materials are generated from being with trees. Parallel to this I have investigated how I connect to trees through an embodied somatic work, letting myself be influenced by them in order to get to know them.
Through this interactive performance installation I move the choreographic materials indoors, translating time and memory from the outdoor environment.
