SKAL VI DANSE?/SHALL WE DANCE?
by Soeren Aagaard, Magnus Clausen, Peter Larsen and Jörgen Michaelsen
World premier at Vester Vov Vov and screenings at TTC Gallery 28. Aug. — 16. Sep. 2009 


The film ‘Shall We Dance?’ is an intriguing investigation of the word dance. It consists of a voice-over text and a collection of different visual narrations whose mutual arrangement seem to adapt to the spoken words. Combining the humoristic with a bone-dry seriousness, the film displays a sequence of peculiar snapshots, whose compositions and connotations reveal a choreography, in which the dancer is absent. Between documentary and fiction the film slides off the dance floor and asks a more universal question: “How Can We Know the Dancer from the Dance?” Yeats

‘Shall We Dance?’ is a collaborative project with the four Danish artists Soeren Aagaard, Magnus Clausen, Peter Larsen and Jörgen Michaelsen.

The exhibition is suported by the Danish Arts Council Committee for Visual Art.
