Open research space:
16 - 17 of March Hägerstens Medborgarhus (Stockholm)


About the method development:
In this research the main focus has been on deepening the relationship between listening and memory, movement and electronics. We have been working closely with IR-sensors, Bela microcontrollers and transducers in the choreographic space. The sounds produced have been recorded memories and syntetic percussion filtered through various objects, where the filter responce and resonance of each object has been enhanced by a syntezised resonances and modulation.

About the collaboration between Marie Topp and Julia Giertz

Marie Topp (DK) and Julia Giertz (SE) met at The National School of Performing Arts in Denmark (2005) – since then they have maintained a close artistic dialogue. During the last ten years they have been continuously involved in each other’s artistic projects as colleagues and collaborators. Often in collaboration with lighting designer Mårten K Axelsson and dramaturge Igor Dobričić.
