8. A radio show: Salka Ardal Rosengren and Lisa Schåman

drift dialogues

Salka and Lisa met over the course of three days to spend time with each other and dance in höjden’s studio. In the eight episode of drift you are invited to become the listener of their radio show where they unpack some dance related concerns. As the show unfolds we follow them through a range of perspectives and are made aware of the many sides of what is going on. They underline unspoken rules and zoom in and out of their experience of doing and observing dance. What is actually the impact of having an audience and what is dance as a practice if it doesn't reach anyone?
