The Second Skin

Within #MovingBarents2020 project we in #TaikaBox connect with our dancing partners in the studios of Norway, Sweden and Russia.


Through moving our bodies together, breathing, laughing, using a giant projector and challenging each other with tasks, we win over anything that has been trying to set us apart, whether it is #distance, #Coronavirus or #borders of any kind.


We create a studio above them. Online is not the word, it is so much more, it is somehow out-of-dimensional, just as #love, as #memory, as #empathy.


Pictured here is one of the tools on how we create it – through the joint workshops. Today’s was led by Russian dance artists Susanna Voyushina and Dmitry Melnikov, who used a shirt for experiencing the second skin and the feeling of self in space.

How big, small, free do we feel?

#MovingBarents2020 challenges independent dance artists from Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia to create a simultaneous online performance on climate change and limitations of #freedom.
