MODUS MOBILE
2006-2007
January 24-30, 2006
Österlen, south of Sweden
Choreographer/performer SU-EN and composer/musician Amit Sen (cello) worked on this project together as part of the Ars Modus project in Hammenhög, Skåne.
The basic concept is to visit peoples houses or workplaces. Some were informed before, some not. We just knocked on the doors and asked if we could do a short improvisation in their house. Performances took place in the bathroom, the living room, the children’s room, during the coffee break or dinner and varied in length between 7-15 minutes. Short informal talks rounded off our visit before we continued down the road.
To our delightful surprise, a lot of people let us in!
