a mas.ing
The name A mas.ing is a hybrid of MASako and INGvild, the first names of the dance artists behind the initiative. After many years of cooperation in different constellations; side by side as dancers in performances, as choreographers or mentors for each other and as guest curators in each other’s festivals, the cooperation eventually took shape as a choreographic duo. In A mas.ing we experiment with how digital experiences and virtual realities can be transformed into tactile social experiences. We spend time to observe our surroundings and look for answers to what lies behind the influence of our and others’ choices.

About the LAND SKAP series
A mas.ing invites the audience to a refreshing perspective on the environment in which they are located in, through the series called LAND SKAP. The duo experiments with how we observe movements and objects and what gets the focus through our and others’ choices. What lives in the landscapes surrounding us and what are beyond its borders?
LAND SKAP is a hybrid of an exhibition, a performance and a film in real time, framing, re-scaling and dubbing our movements and surroundings. Those who take a closer look may see the surroundings and the people there as if it were a real-time movie. Through the protective form of the boxes, intimate moments can be shared between spectator and performer, and stories told for their ears only. In LAND SKAP vol.2 we want to challenge the audience to see their surroundings from a different perspective.
LAND SKAP offers both interactivity and contemporary dance on several levels. The audience we apparently perform for is the ones who look into the boxes, but it is also a thrilling performance for those who stand outside the boxes and see what is going to happen. Some spectators gets to zoom in on the details, other spectators can experience the performance from “backstage”. Each audience member can also move between the different perspectives during the performance. Each performance of LAND SKAP is especially designed for the place it is performed.
