ZOOMLAND - LIGHTS OUT is a research project on zoom due to the current Covid pandemic, leading to a Performance Lecture at Scenkonst Sörmland.  

​

During spring 2021, 5 choreographers from Israel and Sweden met over zoom each one bringing in a theme they wished to deepen and explore together with the group. The themes covered ghosting, phantom fantasies and memory exploration, deep listening in layers and sound exploration from a physical and sensible point of view, such as vibration etc.

​

After the researchperiod the artists met in space at Scenkonst Sörmland and developed a Performance Lecture through a two week long intuitive process. 

 

Following intuitive choices the work grew into a sound based performance exploring digital intimacy and disconnection by moving through layers of sound, body and consciousness in a concert of voices, video work, soundscapes and interactive movements - Zooming in and out together with the audience.

​

The project was an initiativ to support choreographic and artistic growth and international cooperations during the Covid pandemic. 

​

The choreographers were interested in the meeting point between artistic research, collective- and intuitive processes. 

​

The Performance Lecture premiered at Scenkonst Sörmland 27th September 2021.
