Lee Brummer in residency at Härnosand
Between 23rd-30th September Lee Brummer was in residency at Härnosand Folkhögskola with performers Naomi Kats and Jennifer Wallén who have both worked with Lee prior and performed in her previous work “Something to do, Someone to love, Something to look forward to” in 2022. The group was joined by apprentice Rut Rosner who is currently studying at Härnosand Folkhögskola.
The four spent the week in the early stages of research and development for a new piece ‘Conflicted/Uncomfortable conversations’ (working titles) and had a studio sharing in Härnösand on the 29th of September.
“It’s been an insightful, challenging and thought provoking week beginning to climb the mountain of Conflicted/ Uncomfortable conversations. The research is around a new work that grapples with aspects of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the uncomfortable conversations around it.
We are only at the very beginning of this long path and I myself am understanding how to work with something which is so big, so current and at the same time so personal. I am so thankful to Naomi, Jennifer and Rut for their openness, trust and vulnerability, and to Danielle Dietz for hosting us so incredibly and offering a comfortable space in which we could allow ourselves to be in the uncomfortable.”
The residency is supported by Asylum Arts at the neighbourhood, The Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation, NEFCD and Härnösand Folkhögskola.
