LIGNA Meet Me at the Bench

Meet me at the Bench is a smartphone app that invites you to listen to choreographies of international choreographers, artists and performers and to listen to and perform them on a bench in public space. Meet the artists at the bench: an unlikely encounter at a retreat from everyday life, that poses questions of rest and unrest, of movement and immobility, of privilege and equality. LIGNA consists of the media and performance artists Ole Frahm, Michael Hueners and Torsten Michaelsen. In performative interventions and mass choreographies, they have been exploring the possibilities for action of collectives that associate themselves in a dispersed and temporary manner since 2002. In doing so, they develop different models of media use. LIGNA's works have been awarded several national and international prizes.
