Information

Ice as a stage, ice as a theme. For four days in January, we are moving Studio ALTA to a temporary ice rink! 

The first evening, titled SURFACES, will let the movements of contemporary dance and figure skating mingle and watch how they complement and influence each other. Can you hear it? The second icy evening will feature GLISSANDO, a collective sound composition created just while we skate. On the third day, ice will be the theme for us. We will focus on the current state of glaciers in the ANTARCTIDA, and the intersection of science and art. The four nights on the ice will end with a neighborly BANQUET where everyone can bring a piece of their treat to share with others.

Listen, can you hear that? That’s the ice rink singing. Public skating in a form you’ve never experienced before, led by Hungarian artist David Somló. Together we skate together to gradually create a live sound composition. Just us, the skates and the ice.

He is a Ph.D. student in paleoecology at Masaryk University, Faculty of Science, Polar-Geo-Lab at the Institute of Geography (currently interrupted). His research is focused on polar regions in the context of climate change.

Martin Lulák researched at the Czech Arctic Station in Svalbard and was also a member of the 2019 American expedition and part of the research group of Professor John C. Prisca from Montana State University, which is engaged in long-term studies of ecological change. At the University of South Bohemia, he teaches two lectures for Bachelor students as an external lecturer in the Geography-Teaching program.

Moving from the ice rink to indoors. Ah, the feeling when you take your skates off after two days! 

Do you also have that insistent question in your head? What does a public ice rink in the middle of a warm city make you think of? An ice surface for play and rest as a thematization of the ice itself and its disappearance from where it belongs. A sensitive performance and discussion with ice researchers.
