Spring Semester Is Here

Hello friends,

Winter finally came to Seyðisfjörður and Spring Semester 2017 is upon us. 20 new faces arrived in the town to spend the next three months living, exploring and creating an ever-changing energy of possibilities.
In the first week we danced, we slipped, we shared and swam. We made connections with space and time, with language and each other. We explored our surroundings and began to call a place a home.

What is it about this place?
Reflected back on itself in the shimmering pond-light.
Take a dip in the pool- incandescent pink glow from the strip-light
Day turns into night

Time is intangible, here

What is it about this place? An Island Within Itself
[Most people won’t leave for three months
yet in this moment that has lasted only a week, we are achingly aware of it’s ending]
Hungry for – to grab and hold each glimpse and glimmer and snatched glance

To become familiar. To navigate the unknown. To get to know a stranger. A strange place. A-new.
Move bodies collectively. Create an energy of sound [The room quakes, fluro mats circle the floor]
Walk. Physicality.
We tread paths, re-call the past. Trace the memory of the town. Encounter locals, experience tradition.

Begin and end with a walk.
