Two bodies moving through a landscape of ice, setting out on an attempt.
The attempt to become tender in a hostile environment.
The attempt to melt without losing their outlines.
The attempt to transform their environment. To find new forms where anger and tenderness coexist, where they can condition each other.
An attempt to find strength in shared vulnerability and allow this process to be witnessed.
Melt In Sight is a dance performance created by janne&tabea. This performance emerges from a research about radical tenderness as a performative concept, to question and transform our social interactions in contemporary (western) society.
How can we find strength in community and shared vulnerability?

Workshop: Melt Together
In this workshop we invite the participants to let their bodies be inspired by the physical states of water – from liquid to frozen – in order to explore a soft yet strong way of being. Through guided movement improvisation, open to every level of previous experience, we will find different ways of connecting, floating, moving and melting with each other. Together we will explore the question of how to find strength in shared vulnerability.
