A Space Journey is an intimate experience between you and the space you choose to go on the journey with, and for a brief moment to the world outside you both. However it is also a story of how places affect us, the process of letting go of a place dear to us and how these places can live on with us if we invite them to.

This performance is a physical and imaginary experience shifting between being a story, a workshop and a reflection of the space you find yourself in. You are led through your own room via a written guide, following steps with various sensing exercises inviting you to touch, translate, move, and be moved by your surroundings. Gradually a meeting point of several spaces around and within you emerge.

Be ready for a surprise!

A Space Journey is the first work in Arkivet; an overarching project exploring alternative methods of documenting spaces through an embodying practice of scenography, negotiating awareness between our surroundings and our own bodies. Arkivet is a growing source of material generated from these methods, collected through the audiences’ participation. The archived material will be shared with each audience member after their journey.
