TRIVIAL 2015 – ongoing
I have long-term practice of investigating what trivial choreography is and what role it plays. It is born out of a need to think, sense and understand through choreography, dance, movement and sound. The exploration of the trivial choreography has been performed with a practice that has liberated me from the fact that my creative life would be dependent on an unreliable financial support, which in my situation is untenable. It is an ongoing process that is in dialogue with various situations and cares for the interpersonal relationships in them
How can dance and choreography from different situations occupy space?
Trivial, The dying swan, Road dance and My contribution are included in the trivial choreography work, titel shifting as the situation is shifting.
Trivial performances:
- at a Critical practise: Between art and life at C.off/ cap The simple premise is that life do not happen after or before art. At the same time it would be a too big, and too risky device to claim that the two are synonymous. How does then the land in between art and life look like? And what can we learn from meeting there? 8 December 2018. Organizers: c.off/ ccap, FSL, in collaboration with ABF Stockholm och med stöd av Kulturrådet, Stockholms stad och Östermalms stadsdelsförvaltning.
