Poetry from the peat
Art film(20 min)
Andreas Lenoardsen, Atsushi Takenouchi and Tove- Elena Nicolaysen.
The project is a collaboration between dancers Atsushi Takenouchi (Japan) and
Tove Elena Nicolaisen (Norway / Chile), musicians Hiroko Kamiya and Torgeir Vassvik and filmmaker Andreas Leonardsen and includes Butoh dance and Japanese and Sami contemporary.
The artists are concerned with unity between man and nature, and Jøndahlsmåsan was chosen as recreation spot because of its beautiful surroundings, but also because of the consequences that peat extraction has on both birdlife and global warming.
Jødahlsmåsan is a peat bog and a natural carbon sink on the border between Nes and Ullensaker municipality, where allowed peat extraction is estimated to lead to emissions of 293,000 tonnes of CO2.
In December 2014 invited Butoh dancer Tove Elena Nicolaisen the Japanese Butoh master Atsushi Takenouchi and musician Hiroko Kamiya to Oslo to hold workshop and performance. With its utsprring in Japan holds Butoh dance both spiritual, intellectual and physical aspects, and relate to humans as an integral part of processes in nature. Thus Jøndahlsmåsan selected as recreation place both because of its beautiful surroundings, but also because of the problematic human encroachments on site.
In connection with Takenouchis show at Nowhere fell on a subtly the last pieces in place: The Sami musician Torgeir Vassvik and an itinerant filmmaker Andreas Leonardsen, introduced themselves and said they were very interested in an artistic collaboration.
