A CHOREOGRAPHED FIKA, 2020
In Sweden, the concept of ‘Fika’ is more than just a coffee/tea and cake break, it is a daily ritual for building social connection and communities. Using the workshop as a design format, A Choreographed Fika dissects the Swedish Fika situation through an understanding of choreography and abstraction. The workshop consisted of three components: Actors, Spatial and Interaction, where students were involved in materialising intangible and abstract elements that typically characterise an everyday Fika situation.
Workshop developed in collaboration with Yuxi Chen, Lani DuVall, Maria Gräslund and Emeli Höcks, and with the guidance of Judith Seng, February 2020.
