Gavia Arctica 
KORDA is creating Gavia Arctica a new dance & movement piece and site-specific performance art in three parts. We work with ecology, nature, and dance as an art form, all related to the environment, the place, and its audience. The piece is inspired by the fantastic bird Gavia Arctica who we see calmly sliding forward through the water of the lake Grycken outside our windows. It also honors this bird with its many sounds. It is part of the Gavia family where 4 of the 5 worldwide species can be found in our nearby area.
