YOU CAN DO IT!
YOU CAN DO IT!
YOU CAN DO IT! a 30-minute digital dance performance created by Taneli Törmä and Maia Elisabeth Sørensen.
Two actors go through a long humoristic and breathtaking workout, bringing the spectator step by step, count by count, into a manic workout universe.
YOU CAN DO IT! is staged with one actor in an apartment and another actor running outside.
YOU CAN DO IT! is subject to the real world. A dancefilm-live-experience about control, carried out in a real-life setting – with the risk of losing control.
YOU CAN DO IT! is questioning our society's constant focus on growth and the hamster wheel we are part of. We push ourselves so hard that we forget why we do it - and we forget each other.
The digital performance is based on the stage performance SURVIVORS by Taneli Törmä – LOCATION X (Copenhagen) and the independent theatre group Studio Total (Helsinki).
The digital adaptation of SURVIVORS is created in collaboration between two prize winning dance film makers. Finnish choreographer Taneli Törmä - LOCATION X and Danish dance film director Maia Elisabeth Sørensen. Both Taneli Törmä and Maia Elisabeth Sørensen have worked extensively with dance films, which is the perspective and approach they will take on the digital live performance. The live digital performance will challenge the timing and length of the clips, live editing, the choreography of the camera which has to be incorporated into the actor’s choreography and the live-streaming.
