Rhythm exists in our bodies: in the breath, in the heartbeat and in our everyday movements. “Groove” is a dance performance, but also a live concert made by it´s six performers. Five contemporary dancers and a drummer takes a dive into their intuitive and immediate expressions that unfold when rhythm is the main theme. Everyone plays and everyone moves. The performance is motivated by different feelings of “swing” and how it can travel, in an individual, through the collective group and into the dance-space. The project evolved from a shared enthusiasm around learning to play the drums, and from a common love for rythmical music and it´s power to move and connect people. Groove travels on tour around the country to meet an audience of all ages and different backgrounds, and invites to an energetic music-and dance-experience, in the context of local community houses and schools.
Welcome!
During Bodø Biennale, the performers in Groove will also hold a performance in Bodø prison, and conduct a workshop at Tusenhjemmet and a workshop for students from the music and dance streams at Bodø secondary school.
