Heidi is looking for up to 20 people who identify as dykes, aged 18–80, to take part in workshops and a sharing of Sitting with/as Dykes, a choreographic durational score going into production in 2027.

Sitting with/as Dykes is a poetic, embodied look at queerness, presence and perception, built on the simple act of sitting. Together we will try out a first draft of the score. It draws on durational forms, listening practices and Heidi's One-Note framework, which works with a single movement or musical note. We will explore how bodies relate to time, space, and each other through small, attentive gestures, and what it means to identify as, look like, move, and sit as a dyke, both alone and together.

You don't need dance or performance experience. The work is about being present, and it welcomes different bodies, histories, ages and ways of being a dyke. Trans, non-binary and gender-nonconforming dykes are warmly invited. Together we will form a temporary collective of difference and shared presence.

You can read about the public session here.
