FENRIS workshop with Dud Muurmand

FENRIS is a multidisciplinary artistic interpretation of the mythological tale of the Fenris wolf. A symbol of the battle between chaos and order, which we see playing out in our contemporary era with the introduction of artificial intelligence/AI in both art and work. Created by dancer/choreographer Dud Muurmand (DK) and musician Marko Hautamäki (FI), and developed during a residency in Warehouse9’s Qlab. FENRIS will premiere at the alternative culture festival Uma Obscura in Umeå, Sweden in November 2026. In collaboration with Warehouse9, Dud Muurmand and Marko Hautamäki invite us into their workspace for two evenings to facilitate a workshop, work-in-progress showing, and artist talk. About the workshop, 22 october 2026 Dud welcomes you into her own artistic universe of theatrical dance and movement, where storytelling has a big focus. We will work with the dance and drama improvisations, using the participants’ individual body language and imagination to create movements with expression and storyline – both solo and in group. With her experience in large group-projects, Dud will also give some insights into developing group synergy in dance and movement. The goal of this workshop is to inspire you to use your body for great storytelling and feel the dance joy. The workshop is open to all, no specific technical background is needed. About the work in progess sharing and artist talk, 23 october 2026 Dud og Marko invites you to a work-in-progress sharing of the FENRIS-project in Copenhagen, before the performance piece will be premiered at the Uma Obscura festival in Umeå in November 2026. After the preview, there will be an artist talk where you can ask the artist about the piece and the process. Please note, only Dud will be present live on stage during this preview / talk – Marko will be present online for the talk.
