QUARTO (Anna Mesquita and Leandro Zappala) will give an insight into their new work at the internationale tanzmesse nrw, as a part of the official programme. Anna Mesquita and Leandro Zappala use a performative apparatus to create an environment where all their values and attitudes toward the territory, locality, ecology of habitation, and porosity between private and public, are to be explored in an intricate choreography of bodies, which are challenged, (un)framed and ultimately held by the cubic construction in the making. The duo invests in long-term research within interdisciplinary art, deeply rooted in the interaction between theory and practice. The CUBE series is developed in residency at MDT Stockholm (SE). Co-production QUARTO and Dansens Hus in Stockholm, supported by the Swedish Arts Council/Kulturrådet, Stockholms Stad, and Region Stockholm. More info here. | |

When the doors at internationale tanzmesse nrw Forum closes Swedish Dance and the Swedish Pavilion invite you to a showcase presenting extracts from work by four choreographers/ companies a day.
Maria Naidu´s GOLDEN (EXTENDED) serves up a cocktail of moving and grooving inspired by the 70s disco culture. Join us for a cocktail of music and dancing, swinging and swaying, movement and sounding. Ten dancing bodies glide around the room like liquid gold, in constantly sweeping and melodic movement patterns that groove. The work critically examines questions about representation on the Swedish dance scene today specifically related to ethnicity and is a tribute to all those who are rarely seen in great numbers on the Swedish stages.

You will never cross the street in the same way again! DON GNU digs into the tediousness of everyday routines in search of poetry and humour in a performance with muscular physicality and edgy stunt tricks. One ordinary day, four ordinary men take a walk through a city. They readily follow unwritten and strict rules of good behaviour and norms of social etiquette until one of them suddenly decides to rebel… With trademark DON GNU “everyday stunts” and raw physicality, WALK-MAN is a performance in which the ground is literally swept away from under the feet of four men walking. In a world where rules, norms and routines no longer apply, a pedestrian is not simply a person crossing the street and common understanding of “good behaviour” falls apart. WALK-MAN is all about the extraordinary experiences of ordinary life and we promise you – you’ll never cross the street in the same way again! WALK-MAN by DON GNU is shown at ZOO Southside, Edinburgh (GB) 1 4-28 Aug 2022, 12.15 pm everyday (except Aug 21). More info and tickets here. Read more about DON GNU at madeintheweb.com | |

ONCE A WHISPER is a tribute to nature and its inner life. Helena's world of movement consists of and is built up of different physical landscapes. Through scenography, light, and sound, she creates experiences of the sensual, the tactile, what the body experiences. This time Helena collaborates with the musician and composer Joep Beving. Read more here. Helena Franzén has created a new solo, REVERBERATE, specially made for the exhibition by the artist and choreographer Noa Eshkol "Rules Theory and Passion" at Norrköping Art Museum (SE). The exhibition covers Noa Eshkol's entire life and collective production. Helena Franzén connects her own choreographic work with Noa Eshkol (1924-2007), who also dedicated herself to the body as the ultimate expression, as the messenger of the movement. In their dance, it is the stripped-down expression, the non-hierarchical, and the passion for movement as a language that connects them. REVERBERATE is shown in the exhibition on 20 Aug, 27 Aug, and 24 Sep 2022 and in connection with the performances, Helena Franzén also gives movement workshops on a number of occasions for visitors to the museum.

Björn Säfsten is going on a nationwide tour in Sweden with the Swedish national theatre Riksteatern from 5 Nov-11 dec 2022. I SJÄLVA VERKET is the autobiographical and arbitrary all-knowing performance about something everybody does but no one knows what it is: dance! The title I SJÄLVA VERKET could in Swedish be read in two ways within this context. As a saying it would translate to "In fact", but it can also be understood as "In the actual piece". Swedes also use it as an expression saying "I praktiken" meaning literally "In the practice" saying "in the real world" or "In the actual". The title contains and projects the ambition of this performance. It comes from a strive of wanting to answer and open up conversations that Säfsten has had over the last 8 years with audience members regarding contemporary dance, theories of dance practices, and why some work might look or be read in a certain way. In I SJÄLVA VERKET he attempts to talk and dance, sometimes simultaneously, to show, visualize, explain, question, and juggle the complicated issues at hand. Co-production between Säfsten Produktion and Riksteatern. The tour starts on 5 Nov 2022 at Dansinitiativet in Luleå (SE) and continues to Medborgarhuset in Lycksele (SE) on 8 Nov 2022 and to Folkets hus in Vilhelmina (SE) on 9 Nov 2022 – for more tour dates go here.
