Body to dance
Body to dance (performance and short dance film, 2022)
Dance as form of human culture and expression has existed since prehistoric time. Dance can be an intellectually choreographed aesthetic art form, but is also an instinctive elemental force in our bodies.
Body to dance explores our innate, primal need for movement and the expressiveness of the body. This live, interactive performance and short dance film aims to express the feeling of movement in itself, from a breath that lifts the chest, to the beauty and energy in a fully stretched body

Quantum Entanglement
Quantum Entanglement (Babel visningsrom for kunst, 2020)
Quantum Entanglement is a physical phenomenon where one or several particles can be described as a unit, even when they are moved to different locations. If one quality changes in one particle, the same change occurs in the other particles, despite the distance between them. Einstein referred to this phenomenon as “spooky action at a distance”
Born from the first period of lockdown due to covid 19, Quantum entanglement explored interaction and togetherness in times of physical distance. How does social distancing affect us as human beings? An increasing sense of loneliness and anxiety, a longing for intimacy. In their own isolated world, blocked by a window, the dancers look out, searching for contact. Objects interacting “in absentia”
