Linde Hanna Rongen worked with the dancers of FORWARD through the program SKISSAN on a given frame from her previous solo work HOFIE III:ORBIT, by Project HOFIE.
Day by day the years are passing through a circular movement at a scale that goes beyond our understanding. A constant movement that sets the rhythm of your life, of my life. Might the orbit of the moon be our only physical reference to our conception of time?
In this work the dancers will explore an atmosphere where the orbit of a lamp is their only perception of time. Creating a movement scape in which we invite the audience to be present with the dancers.
HOFIE is a character frame, a feeling, an aesthetic that one as a performer can become.
“The body continues without the soul and emotions, when the music ends they come back together, as the soul and emotions were at rest.” – Hafey (dancer)
* As an audience member you will be on the stage with the dancers, please be mindful of the dancers and the
space they need in order to perform. The facilitators present during the performance will guide you into the
space, if any questions feel free to ask them.

The FWD Youth Company is a program for young dancers, who have completed their studies in dance on a high school level, and want to add to their experience and skills. The program is considered as a kind of bridge after their high school studies, before young dancers start university studies or take their first steps into the professional dance life. The FWD youth company has been active for four winters, working with diverse artists and performing in venues and festivals in Iceland and abroad.
