Rope Workshop in preparation for sDuel by Andros Zins-Browne Lustholmen Festival.
For Lustholmen Festival, 2025 New York City-based choreographer Andros Zins-Browne and artist and designer Kim Schnaubert will lead a free workshop on co-creating a rope sculpture. The rope, which participants will collaborate on, will be colored, covered, tied and woven with materials drawn from Skeppsholmens’s history- black shale, tar, iron, pigments from the former Swedish colony St. Barthélemy, and natural and industrial materials foraged from the island.
The rope will become part of the performance sDuel (June 13th and 15th) and after, will exist as an artwork co-signed by all participants. This workshop and the work sDuel is made possible through collaboration with Public Art Agency Sweden and MDT Moderna Dansteatern.
No prior experience with rope or sculpture is needed—everyone is welcome to join. Kids are warmly invited to participate alongside a parent or accompanying adult. The workshop will be held in English.
*Please note that the workshop starting and ending time has been changed, the correct time is 11:00-14:00.
