Sense, Dance – a human being is born

Klub Levuk’s Theater & Music Line has in collaboration with the Association for Integrated Modern Dance in Denmark (FIMD) by Janne Weidinger and Costume Designer & Textile Facilitator Line Lund Bak, developed the performance “Sanse, Danse… -a human being comes into being”.

The performance is part of a house artist project under the Danish Arts Foundation, where the house artists at Levuk, Line and Janne, since August 2024, have danced, played, sensed, and learned about textiles and their creation twice a week with Levuk’s theater and music team. This has resulted in an aesthetically beautiful, sensuous and touching performance with the young people on stage.

In the course, the students have helped create parts of the costumes, set design, sound and dance that can be experienced in the performance. Through the collaboration, we have expanded the young people’s understanding of what dance is and how to use textiles as a creative element.

We thank you for a great collaboration!

Testimonial:

“We experienced an overwhelmingly sensory performance with fine lighting, beautiful
costumes and a fantastic scenery. A fantastic and professionally executed performance,
which has been set up in a relatively short time with great understanding of our young
people’s different challenges.

The young people showed great commitment and contributed each especially based on their individual abilities, which created room for everyone’s challenges. It was It was touching to experience the strong sense of cohesion in the group.

The performance touched us deeply and gave us as parents of Jens an insight into a maturity
and confidence that we haven’t previously seen in him in the same way. Jens has been
very engaged – talked a lot about the preparations and dental appointments etc.
several times to allow him to participate in tests and classes.

He has exceeded his limits with a huge victory. He is proud and very
happy to have participated and dares to believe in himself more and more with the victories he gets. We are
still talks about the good experience with him.

We are very impressed and happy with the experience we have all had and hope that others
will have the opportunity to experience something similar.”
