Presented at LHÍ Tunglið as part of the MFA Performing Arts graduation programme, 2020.

'One Collective Breath’ is a new performance work that pays homage to the colourful world of Icelandic choral culture. Situated inside the 'Currently Unnamed Choir', you are intertwined with its members amidst a rehearsal unfolding. Through the highs and lows of learning a new song, what begins as an ordinary evening practice evolves into a living, expanding encounter with a composition.

The work is a celebration of our simultaneous existence - exploring community, note by note - the moments we unconsciously share every time we breathe together. Like becoming entangled inside a piece of music, 'One Collective Breath' is an invitation to those who want to have their coffee and cake while singing about it too.

Participation not required, but enthusiastically welcomed!
