Content Notes

I’m a Fan is a performance about being a fan. Winona Hudec and Lau Lukkarila are both musicians and performers. They show what it feels like to be a fan or an idol. Some parts of the performance are loud and fast. Other parts are calm. On stage, there are different things from the context of fan culture. There is also music equipment, such as microphones and musical instruments.

I’m a Fan researches the zest of fandom, an electric identification with a fantasy that blends into embodiment, catalysing new outcomes. The state of being a fan and adoring is used as methodology throughout conceptual, choreographic and sonic aspects of the work, as well as a point of reflection of a gaze and aesthetics.

The performance reminisces about fan and idol phenomena in the fields of music, dance, film, the humanities and everyday life, while considering fannish intensities as palliative remedies and tactical tools. Winona Hudec and Lau Lukkarila explore both the fecundity and the melancholic dislocation of past periods and the immediacy of the current moment.

The performance is dramaturgically structured around live sound, which moves between poignant consolidation, noise and syrupy lore. Light is navigating the gaze on stage, pointing to bodies, objects related to fan culture, instruments and a sound system, offering images inspired by music videos and private fanfare.

A person in a light grey hoodie sits at a drum kit, holding two mallets. In front of the drums, another person lies on the floor, wearing a green-and-purple striped sweater and holding a red cable. Large amplifier cabinets stand on the right; acoustic foam and other rehearsal-room equipment are visible behind them. The image appears like a staged rehearsal or band photo.

Two people lie next to each other on the green floor of a rehearsal room. The person on the left wears a light grey hoodie and holds a microphone and red cable; the person on the right wears a green-and-purple striped sweater and lies among several cables, their hair spread out. A white electric guitar lies on the floor to the right, while parts of a drum kit and an amplifier are visible at the top. Both people look directly upward toward the camera.

In a cluttered rehearsal room, a person wearing pink trousers sits on an amplifier with a white electric guitar and turns their head to the side. On the left, a second person stands with their back to the camera and holds a large cymbal in front of their body. Amplifiers, cases, a tambourine, cables and shelves are visible in the background. The scene feels spontaneous and raw, like a moment between music, posing and setting up.

In a dimly lit rehearsal room, a person in a light grey hoodie sits on an amplifier cabinet and plays a white electric guitar. In front of them on the left, a second person crouches in the shadows with a microphone and red cable. Several cables and sheets of paper lie on the floor. Strong backlight enters the room from behind, giving the scene a focused and atmospheric feel.
