Femme Physique

Femme Physique! A performance where the relationship between body and water is explored in a seductive performance that juggles between contemporary dance and theater.

The piece was originally created for a swimming pool but has now been adjusted to fit our one and only Dansverkstæðið!

An ode to the physical body; wrinkles, orange skin, goosebumps, soft and hard lines, thin and thick skin.

Swimming; coldcoldcold

SHAKE YOUR SKIN
SHAKE YOUR HIPS
SHAKE YOUR BREASTS

Running towards the pool. NO RUNNING. Goosebumps. Why is there sand on the pavement? Holding my stomach/breasts. Can not wait to get into the 39°C water. Ahhh release. Safe…

-Oh hi! How are you doin’?!

Actors, dancers and singers Snædís Lilja and Sigríður Ásta form the group Forget-me-not. They love to work in a big studio where they have freedom to run and dance around. They work through improvisation, follow their intuition and the flow when creating theatre. Before the weekend they like to go over the work accomplished over a glass of champagne - and then some of the best ideas are born (as well as some of the worst).
