”Strandfynd” (Beach findings) invites the participant to create emotional connections, interest and engagement for the local marine habitats through dance and music. 

“Strandfynd” is a collaboration between the dancers Lisa Holström, Petra Nilsson and Rebell Gitarrkvartett. Together the ensemble has created an interactive music and dance performance around beach findings from Malmö's beloved Ribersborg beach. ”Strandfynd” invites the audience to take part in creating a multi-art piece, under guidance of the ensemble.

How do you dance like swaying seaweed? How can a guitar sound like a sea shell? What's the sonic differences between a black and a white stone from the ocean? The performance “Strandfynd” is both a music and dance performance and an interactive choreographed scene of music, dance and sounds.

The ”Strandfynd” performance has been developed as a part of the project ”Bauhaus of the Seas Sails”, financed by the EU. 
The idea and concept took form within the framework of the project ”Plastic extension of music”, a cross disciplinary modell for re-imagining artistic activity and music performance articulated and led by Bertrand Chavarria-Aldrete (musician, artist and researcher at Lund University).
