Amass
ABOUT THE FILM
Amass was made in response to the current moment. When assembly is forbidden we have to find new ways to be together. 16 dancers were filmed dancing alone on the stage where they should have been performing, then brought together again as a company through film. They revisit a space now standing still. They crowd without proximity. They observe one another and themselves from this new perspective.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
During spring season 2020 cancelled premieres and performances gave way to new ideas. Dayglow began as pop-up-solos all over Malmö, created from home by the company dancers. These solos then transformed into courtyard performances for senior centres and private homes.
In May Dayglow had evolved further into a film project. Five films created by Skånes Dansteater’s dancers together with five filmmakers based in Skåne. A collaboration of two artforms during an ongoing corona pandemic. Expressing a wish to keep dancing as a dance company and never cease sharing experiences with the community.
