Saturday 27 February “In their very intimate and playful performances the Japanese artist Yukiko Shinozaki and Norwegian artist Heine Avdal create dream-like, absurd in-between worlds by means of subtle shifts in reality.”<\/em>\u00a0ibseninternational.com<\/p>\n “carry on” is the latest work by Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki. It is an intriguing\u00a0performance-installation that each time is presented in a very different way depending on the place, be it the\u00a0contemporary arts museum in Leuven or a huge\u00a0culture complex in Tokyo. Now in collaboration with Latvian choreographer El\u012bna Lutce, it will be developed\u00a0in Rucka artist residency centre in C\u0113sis and presented only once on February 27. The visitors will be invited on a walk in Rucka manor house\u00a0where\u00a0objects, sounds and live interventions will guide them through the\u00a0undiscovered spaces in the building and help to\u00a0find remainders of former actions while leaving traces of their own.<\/span><\/p>\n Choreographers and performers Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki<\/strong> are based in Brussels where they work under the collective name “fieldworks”. Heine Avdal\u00a0studied dance, choreography and video art at the Oslo National College of the Arts and at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels.\u00a0<\/span>Yukiko Shinozaki first trained in\u00a0classical ballet in Tokyo and later studied contemporary dance and psychology\u00a0in USA and worked as a performer\u00a0in New York. They met when they both joined the company \u00a0Damaged Goods run by the\u00a0radical American choreographer\u00a0Meg Stuart. Since 2000 Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozki have been working together and have\u00a0created more than 15 different projects, often\u00a0collaborating with various artists. They\u00a0create performances, installations, video works and interventions for stage and for\u00a0non-theatrical environments, infiltrating discreetly into the everyday reality. The works by “fieldworks” characteristically use playful, mute communication that brings\u00a0spectators into an unusual and poetic world. Photo: Eivind Seljeseth<\/p>\n The residency and performance in Rucka is an activity of\u00a0the project\u00a0“Regions.Art.Nature” (EEZLV04\/GSKA\/2013\/04) which\u00a0is financed by\u00a0\u00a0a grant of 54028 EUR from Island, Lichtenstein and Norway via the EEA Financial Mechanism. The project aims to\u00a0enhance\u00a0the artistic exchange\u00a0among Latvia, Norway and Iceland, and facilitate the development of residencies and artistic activities in rural regions of Latvia.<\/p>\n
