The program and the de ire to tudy dance brought them together, here in Reykjavik from different countrie , different background, experience , need , expectation .  What doe thi mean? If we are bound to be together, i there an ob ervation time, i there fear, are there doubt ? About our elve , about the other ? When i the en e of community emerging? When do we tart tru ting each other? Are we influenced by the other ? And a time pa e by what will remain of thi journey? Will it change u ? What will we leave behind? I have a ked the dancer to think of one to three word that could define their experience or memory of the time they had here. And I am eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to meet them at the beginning of their journey and accompany them to their farewell. Thank you Katrin for your tru t.You gave me a beautiful gift. Thank you Andrea, Bertine, Elida, El a, Jaako, Leevi, Mari, Maria, Rebecca, Torfi. You are forever in my heart.Choreography: Sandrine Ca iniMu ic: Stil by Machinefabriek
