The windy days is a multimedia choreographic project by me, Lucy Fandel. With my collaborators, we are practicing how to nurture our sensitivity to the forgotten pieces of our habitats (plastic bags, rustling leaves, an act as complex as a slow walk...), to (re)connect ourselves and each other to the subtle and urgent transformations of our most familiar landscapes. Our explorations take form through three components: an in situ performance and installation; cultural mediation workshops; field journaling guide in two parts: a printed booklet and this multimedia web platform which gathers select traces of our creative explorations and encourages the public to try their hand with shared reflections and observations.

My artistic approach is inspired by field journaling, and outdoor sites. I collect notes, recordings, discarded materials, and movements or sensations that are then developped with dancers in the studio into a shared language. In urban contexts, I pay particular attention to places that are forgotten, neglected, or hidden by frenetic city rhythms. My collaborators and I work often outdoors, but also explore how our choreographic language can inhabit the hidden corners inside buildings, walls and places of passage. By straddling exterior and interior spaces, I hope to open a dialogue with others about how places can be cared for and collectively inhabited.
