donkey (iteration for Supernova) is the latest instalment in a series of performed installations focusing on iteration and continuation. Sandsmark//Findlay carries on where the performance – “every night in my dreams” – left off, in both tone and material, working to extract, simplify and refine elements to turn them into something entirely new. donkey offers a meditative space to re-imagine the “void” left from the past and perhaps more hopeful futures.

Using a playful and immediate approach, the work celebrates laborious tasks with an appreciation for endurance and dedication framed inside a circle. Embracing restraint as a guiding principle, the work deals with interests in patterns and repetitions in dialogue between sound, movements, images and physical matter. donkey acknowledges the impossible separation between the body and the material and how world-making is an ongoing process of entanglement.

Bio

Sandsmark//Findlay is a performance company working with dance, theatre, live music and video art in a collaborative and collective effort. Over the past few years, they have created several productions on the border between performing arts and installation, weaving connections and correlations between disciplines to create live art that resonates physically and emotionally.

In Norway, they regularly collaborate with Black Box Teater (Oslo), BIT Teatergarasjen (Bergen) and Rosendal Teate (Trondheim), and they presented their work internationally at PS 122 Coil Festival and Abrons Arts Center in New York, On the Boards, Seattle, Wexner Center in Columbus, and Charlotte Street, Kansas City. They are also behind RIMI/IMIR SceneKunst in Stavanger, where they have a full-time production studio in an old boat factory/grocery store, as well as co-facilitating and curating the platform.
