Femme Physique
Event
Have you ever wanted to experience a performance in a swimming pool?
Well, now’s your chance!
Femme Physique by Forget-me-not explores the relationship between body and water through a seductive and rebellious site-specific performance.
At the pool, accompanied by a local female choir, the choreographic duo Forget-me-not unravel an ode to the unapologetic female body – wrinkles, cellulite, goosebumps, smooth and hard lines, thin and thick skin.
Together Snædís Lilja and Sigríður Ásta are the performance duo Forget-me-not. They love working in a big studio with freedom to run, dance and scream. When creating they prefer to first act and then think, using improvisation, following their intuition and flowing with it. On a Friday they summarise the week’s work over a glass of champagne where their best ideas are born (and their worst).
As a duo they come from different artistic backgrounds; Snædís has worked as a dancer all her professional life (and longer) and Sigríður originally trained in classical singing. On top of this they are both actors. Femme Physique, their first piece together, combining their artforms.
Choreography and performance: Snædís Lilja Ingadóttir and Sigríður Ásta Olgeirsdóttir
