- The sound
Constructing landscapes by imagining notions of vague, fluid and inclusive spaces, so that we can stay ungrounded and unknowing; wanting to immerse in this place to become more. More of the things we don’t know how to think of. Not the possible but the potential. Always in becoming…
For this performance we have invited Sound to take us on a journey and we welcome you to take part in this experience.
This sonic dance oscillates between the audible and the visual world. It engages in the notion of sound and treats it as a capacity and material to build sensorial landscapes compound with sound and movement to inhabit, care for and operate within. Thinking of sound as an altogether different kind of consciousness that we can learn from if we spend time with it and listen.

Linda initiated Indigo Dance together with Emma Daniel, Anna Gaiotti and Adriano Wilfert Jensen upon an invitation to curate the “Dance week” at PAF during the Summer University 2014. Indigo Dance is a platform for artists with manifestations such as a study circles, festival, tumblr and publication (the Indigo dance magazine) These various manifestations aim to find alternative modes of knowledge production and exchange implying peers teaching peers in the name of curiosity, experimentation and realization of concepts. It holds a space which is supportive and allowing for the practitioners in the field striving to build a discursive landscape which questions who has a voice and the right to speak.
