Screensaver Series is almost literally a kaleidoscopic performance and sound installation, featuring five dancers bringing to life the magical variety of existence. Just like looking into the playfully hypnotic toy of yesteryear, the audience is treated to constant, symmetrical and fascinating movement. The dancers’ bodies seem to form one single organism, moving in waves and cycles and suggesting images from the natural world, such as underwater plants, metamorphoses and growth as it happens. During the performance, the audience can move around the group of bodies and be swept up in the rhythmical spell of abstract motion... and enjoy every minute.

J. N. Harrington operates in a variety of disciplines, including writing and drawing, dance and choreography, video, installations, and costume and set design. Her creativity brings the diversity of experiencing and perception to the fore. As a performer, she has worked in museums and galleries all around Europe, including in the Palais de Tokyo, at the Fondation Beyeler and at the Venice Biennale. The Screensaver Series meanwhile has been attracting attention since 2017 at various festivals throughout Europe.
