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.

REMEMBER TO BRING A BIKE HELMET. We will use it as a base to build the mask.
ALL OTHER MATERIALS WILL BE PROVIDED. If you do not have a bike helmet, please write and we will find one for you.
You can use the mask for performances, actions, demonstrations, halloween, celebration days as Biodiversity Day or Earth Day or for our summer solstice June the 21st where we will have our bat walk around Damhussøen.

About the Artist:
Linh Le (she / her) works with performative activism and fights for a just world for life on earth. At the moment, she explores the sensuousness and philosophy of species, making rituals for the diversity of life.
Linh Le is of a new generation of artists who with their own bodies are exploring the possibility of finding a balance between a growing desperation in a world of polycrisis and maintaining the belief in a different way of being human / species.
As a child of freedom fighters who came to Denmark as boat refugees from Vietnam, and as a witness to their struggles in Danish society, Linh Le is strongly called to free herself through dance, to challenge the norms, to transcend boundaries and explore how the body can act, transform and demand space for the less heard voices.
Linh Le is educated in Aesthetics and Culture from Aarhus University and Performance Design & Planning from Roskilde University. She is co-founder and member of the performance climate activist group Becoming Species which in close alliance with Extinction Rebellion and Embassy of the Species Copenhagen has made several performative actions in public space to amplify nature’s diverse voices.
Linh Le is also a member of Dance Cooperative, an artist-run platform and association with a physical work- and event space in Valby Copenhagen, organized by 14 local performance artists.
Giorgia Ohanesian Nardin: Pleasure Body
Pleasure Body is a space of theoretical/perceptive/somatic exploration on pleasure.
It offers itself as a facilitation space for practices and conversations connected to pleasure and rest, looking at the questions and multiple meanings that these words hold.
Pleasure Body questions the language around labours of care situating itself as a critical space towards words like wellness, health, healing.
The question that moves Pleasure Body is:
how would you move if you had everything you needed?
Some of the topics that are addressed in Pleasure Body are:
- what are the ways in which the body assimilates/internalizes sistemic oppression?
- how, subsequently, do these structures become ways of being in the body? and in relationships? and in community?
- from this standpoint, what do we mean when we talk about care?
- what have we internalized? and how do we free ourselves from what we have internalized non-consensually?
- how would our lives, societies, worlds be if they were based on pleasure instead of profit?

Bat Walk by Damhussøen
Much activity is happening from dusk to the break of dawn. This is the time when the bats come out and hunt for insects. It seems quiet but in the ultrasonic landscape the screams are loud and happening rapidly. If you are attentive you will see fast shadows appearing here and there. Soon, you will know how and where to spot the creatures of the night.
Linh will guide you through a performative walk where she will hand out scores of attentiveness. Together with others, you let yourself immerse in the land of the bats.
