Rezgauche and Humans & Soil invites you to join weaving/sewing circles involving a movement workshop June 20-23rd.

The project "Mojhtesh Gurredh" is created by the organisation Humans & Soil which focuses on Indigenous (Sámi) artistic practices.
"Mojhtesh gurredh" in South Sámi language mean something like "weaving stories" where dancers Marit Shirin Carolasdotter (SE/IZ) and Linnéa Sundling (SE) is sharing their practices on weaving traditional Sámi shoebands together with movement.

#### Dates and time: 20/6 - 23/6

13:00-15:00 & 17:00- 19:00

We meet and weave or sew together. You’re welcome to bring whatever you like, maybe something ordinary or connected to everyday life, a memory from someone you want to recreate… Maybe clothes that you want to mend. We learn basic principles of weaving shoebands from our Indigenous culture. We work with our hands, talk and drink coffee with Swedish “fika”. Together we explore the prescence of our bodies in the room we create. We might write something down about our experiences. You should bring: Something to weave, sow or mend or any other textile material. Pen and paper.

Free entrance, come and go as you wish!

## Hair Box Play

is a project using puppetry as a vehicle to explore states of suspended animation. The puppet, interchangeably object and subject, occupies a generative gray zone for thinking about stillness and movement. Both mundane and preternatural, enchanting and repulsive, it is animated and brought to life by outside forces while also appearing to live of its own accord — until it is inevitably deactivated. But what are the thresholds of being and feeling animated? How much is too much animation? And how much is too little? “Hair Box Play” tells stories of characters crossing the point where animation meets exhaustion, where excitement engenders retreat."Hair Box Play" is conceived and performed by Sean Wehle, a former art historian and current fiction writer.



performance on 21 april, starts at 19h, free entrance.
