One month ago we traveled to Taiwan to join Seed Dance Company’s winter workshop in Yanpu Township along with @ehrstranddancecollective - this time spending the first week creating material for a new duet based on the Faroese folklore about the Seal Woman / Selkie and passing on the material to Seed’s wonderful dancers💙 We hope to be able to come back to Taiwan to perform the finished work as well as bringing these incredibe dancers to the Faroe Islands one day. Special thanks to our dear friend and colleague @johannesblattner , for being there and capturing these beautiful moments during rehearsals and editing this reel for us✨ What would we do without you🫶🏻 Shout out to @elinortb for having us all sing along to “Hvem kan segla” in class - hence the song choice🫶🏻 Thanks to @seed_dance for this experience and for being the most amazing hosts always! To @skye_gigi for being our local guide and translator😂💖 And finally to @juliaehrs for making all of this possible in the first place - we love you 🧡 Dancers in video: @cokas.futon @spring_9527 @debra_803 @_yuyu_1128 @zyu_1101 @_chiashan_ @xx.y2_y2 Travels made possible with funding from Loftbrúgv @atlanticairways and @mentanargrunnurin

Three weeks in Taiwan with @seed_dance and @ehrstranddancecollective has come to an end - and our hearts are full 💕 During our time we’ve been (amongst other things) working on a duet titled “Millum hold” (Between Skins) which draws inspiration from the tale of the Seal Woman. We even had the absolute pleasure of teaching the repertoire to the wonderful dancers of SDC 🫶 - the duet will be part of a triple bill next Autumn in Taiwan! Thank you to @mentanargrunnurin and Loftbrúgv (@atlanticairways ) for supporting the trip. And a special thanks to @johannesblattner for the support during the creative process.
