The Pre Midsummer Dance - a.k.a Klassdans

A experiment in weaving by dancing, but also a celebration of the two years Karins class had known each other. Inspired by European ribbon dances the Textile in the Expanded Field class and visitors of the exhibition performed a dance around Speldosan, weaving it together and at the same time generating a soundtrack due to the activation of the contact microphones inside the threads.

The relation between the preparation and organisation of bodies in the space, which was the longest part of the performance, and the dance, the action everyone waited for, is mirrored in the soundtrack recorded that day. The dance was directed by [krig] and changed the shape of Spelosan dramatically.
