Ávarp fagstjóra
A dancer's graduation performance marks both a beginning and an end. It is a rite of passage, concluding their time together as students while entering the professional community as dance artists.
In this double-bill performance, we witness ten graduating students of Contemporary Dance Practices taking on rituals of the past and future. Embodying landscapes with playful encounters as instruments, thinkers, bodies, avatars, oracles.
During their three-year BA education at the Iceland University of the Arts, these emerging dance artists have shown such resilience and passion in challenging circumstances during the pandemic. I welcome you to celebrate their unique artistry and dedication to their craft as they dance - with open hearts, shaking the ground, making us listen.

Run/through
An orchestra of dancing bodies has been given the virtuosic and daunting task of translating Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring musical score into movement, to be performed in silence. The Russian composer´s seminal work of the 20th century, written during turmoil and unrest, still haunts us with its dissonant and forceful beauty and its themes of ritual and sacrifice. Now we witness another spring ritual with 10 athletic dancers on stage, carrying the monumental weight of the past together, striving for the moment, in silence, as it runs through.
