Spinn’s latest short from performance Cryptic Gymnastics, choreographed by Ida Görsch, had its sneak premiere already mid-October. We are now delighted to have the opportunity to present an excerpt of it during this year’s edition of Expand that takes place at Frölunda Kulturhus on Thursday November 30.
About Cryptic Gymnastics
Listless gymnastics. Ugly gymnastics. Facial gymnastics. Do we really need to feel super psyched about colorful ribbons and synchronized movements? And what would happen if you just do what you feel like? The duet Cryptic Gymnastics is inspired by classical school gymnastics, carried out in large groups and in straight lines. But it also draws from the modern rhythmic gymnastics, with its strong competitive culture and where the athletes are harnessed into perfection and uniformity. But how do you find joy, playfulness and a space for everyone in traditions like these?
