The artistic research

"Lowlands" is a soft lament to the subliminal that spans the deep blue depths of personal emotional landscapes and collective geographical environments. Journeying into the sunken valleys of slowed down motions, it breathes into the space between fragility and strength. Images emerge evoking a body falling apart and gathering itself together again, a body at sea and a body on a patchwork of waves.

In her practice, Emilia Gasiorek works with different meditations, visualisations and somatic practices, creating "action-vessels". Actions are the continuous hollow containers which are filled with emotions, energies and imaginations, creating subtly changing images. The focus during her residency will be deepening the embodiment of these "action-vessels" and transitioning the piece from studio to stage.

Emilia has previously worked with HAUT on "Lowlands" in 2019 for her residency at Åbne Scene in Aarhus. "Lowlands" is co-produced by Dansehallerne and will premiere at Salen (BIBLIOTEKET Rentemestervej) on 2-4 September 2021.
