How to read water is an interdisciplinary dance installation that explores the relationship between the human body and the ocean. Dance artist Anna Thu Schmidt, musician Thea Ellingsen Grant, VJ Mina Paasche and media artist Hanne Dahl Geving explore within their own field how the sea resonates in us, and translate the connection one feels with the ocean, to a connection between performer and audience.

In How to read water #2 Schmidt, Grant, Geving and Paasche create a multidisciplinary performance experience and timeless, meditative space inside the black box inspired by the phenomenon called ‘Blue Space’. By questioning the egocentric view of human nature regarding its place on the planet we propose a hybrid and inclusive perspective through the lens of an interdisciplinary dance installation.
