Art from Circusheart is a production hub and resource for the development of Circus. The artistic director and founder is Tilde Björfors. Björfors co-funded the circus company Cirkus Cirkör in 1995. After almost thirty years as its artistic director, she now continues exploring the boundaries of Circus in a foundation of her own.
At the moment Art from Circusheart is one of the co-creators in HÄNDEL ON HANDS by Balans-Resonans - an artist collective started on the initiative of cellist Mime Brinkmann, who has long carried a dream to be able to move like a circus performer when she plays. Together with the opera singer Thomas Volle and director Tilde Björfors, the three make up the artistic direction for the balance-resonance collective.
HÄNDEL ON HANDS – is a poetic non-language Opera Circus Concerto. It communicates the difficult art of balancing, coexisting, and cooperating. To the music of Georg Friedrich Händel, circus performers, musicians, and opera singers move intertwined through fire, water, air, and earth, exploring the differences and symbiotic interplay between the elements.

All people have one thing in common; we have all been there, on the inside of someone's body! Even though we all have different experiences of becoming, of coming into being, or of giving life to new people, we are still bound together in this; Life's first chamber play.
In DOLLY, OR/ELLER has let three guiding stars cross-fertilize the thematic of the work - Dolly the sheep - the first clone, Dolly Parton the artist - the woman who has continued her creation outside of the womb, and the doll, who comes alive through play and imagination. DOLLY is a dancing laboratory, gathering inspiration from anatomical theater, chamber plays, and puppet theater. The body and its movements are put on display when Anja Arnquist, Sam Huczkowski, and Madeleine Lindh let dance's ability to breathe life speak for the idea of the poetics of cell division, the blurred boundaries of subjectivity and a constructed becoming in our contemporary world. For dates and more info - check MDT.

RADIO III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ is an indigenous futuristic concert, a beautiful and uncomfortable dance performance, and a perverse triangle of shifting power that seeks to be unfaithful to both minimalism and postmodern dance's so-called "-neutrality-.." In this work, the artists seek to live, layer, and situate form in our bodies, as they evoke past, present, and future possibilities. Choreographed and performed by Hanako Hoshimi-Caines, Zoë Poluch, and Elisa Harkins, music composed by Elisa Harkins, RADIO III was born partly from a common interest in minimalism in art and music.
Performing at the FURIES - contemporary dance festival: 26 July 2024. Tickets here. Please go here for more information.
Residencies, co-production: MAI, MDT, Dance Victoria, Agora de la danse, The Stable. Funded by Canada Council for the Arts, Swedish Arts Council, Swedish Arts Grants Committee, Tulsa Artist Fellowship.
