Open call: Academy for Rhythmorphology (ARm) # 1

Rhythm makes form. The tidal rhythms create time for rest and movements. Between the 10th and 17th of June, 2022, we will follow the flows and ebbs of the tide at the shores of Slettnes in Sápmi. We will study the rhythms of the tide and the forms they create through sensing, recording, measuring, storytelling and ritualizing.

Pulled by the moon the tidal wave (ca. 12 hrs 25 min) is the prime driving force behind the tidal rhythms. Tuning into the tide is to attune our clock oriented bodies with the rhythms of the moon on the Arctic polar day. A rescaling of the tidal pull to the tidal pool offers an opportunity to observe and think through sensorial, spatial and semiotic entanglements.

This workshop will be conducted as a shared exploration with introductions, responses and individual research time. To be able to recognize the different forces and voices in the tide, as a starting point, we will identify and name them.

Who can apply? Artists (from all disciplines), cultural and oceanic workers, scientists, coastal dwellers, activists, and researchers. Persons living in the region are encouraged to apply. The workshop is aimed for 10 participants including the organisers.

When? Between the 10th and 17th of June, 2022, in the period around the full moon on the 14th of June, which leads up to the Summer Solstice.

Where? Slettnes Lighthouse in Gamvik Municipality at The Nordkinn Peninsula, the northernmost tip of Norwegian mainland.

Conditions: Food, accommodation, local transportation and a contribution fee of 2000 NOK will be provided. Travel to and from Slettnes is not included.

How to Apply: If you are interested in participating, please submit an Application Form. We aim to contact all applicants by end-January 2022.

Deadline: Monday the 10th of January, 2022.
