The work i was responsible for was the realisation of the Set/Stage design and Lighting Design for the performance.
i realised the 3D design sketches, lead and work with the construction team to build the Set design with snow and ice.
I planned the lighting designed, set it up with the lighting cie, and operated the lights during the performance.

The set design is an adaptation of the Sami labyrinth/maze pattern.
It takes 21m Ø, made with snow walls of 1m high, with ice blocks embedded of 1m to 1m50 high.

Rehearsals in -22 degrees Celsius.
Images from rehearsals inside the freezing warehouse, by minus 22°Celsius.
I think we have made a World Record of Dance rehearsals, Stop-motion Video making
and Workshop by -22° Celsius Atmosphere !
According to the dancer, it is surprisingly very good for dancing.






Workshop.
We also gave a Workshop to youth / teenagers from local school,
