BROTHÆTT: RITUAL II – THE REPAIR
Í haust býður Steinunn Knúts Önnudóttir gestum í persónulegt viðgerðarrítúal í Stúdíó 3 á Dansverkstæðinu. Gestir koma með brotinn hlut úr leir sem þeim þykir vænt um og reynslu af broti sem þeir vilja gefa gaum. Viðgerðin fer fram í hæglæti og alúð. Brotunum er raðað saman, þau límd og sprungurnar gylltar, á meðan gestir eru leiddir í gegnum hugleiðingar um eigin reynslu af því brothætta í lífinu. Brotni hluturinn má vera í að hámarki fimm brotum.

Studio 3
Artists with projects that do not require traditional rehearsal spaces can apply for the Studio 3 project. The artist will then make use of Dansverkstæðið's smallest studio, Studio 3, and a professional dialogue. The projects can be of various types, but an engagement with the dance community is an advantage.
