We welcome Aloun Marchal as a new member of MADE IN the web!
Aloun Marchal´s new interactive dance performance AVATARED will be shown at Dansmässan in Stockholm (SE) on 28 Nov 2023.
AVATARED ground idea came to Aloun Marchal during the Covid pandemic, when he dreamed his way back to parties with loud music and dancing. In the conceptual dance show AVATARED -THE DJ IS DANCING, the DJ has been given new life. For one hour, two professional dancers have become the DJ's avatars. They begin by interspersing vinyl spins in the DJ booth with choreographed micro-performances. Segments of the dance are choreographed to entice the audience to the dance floor while the avatars gradually abandon the DJ booth and jump on the dance floor to join and fire up the dancing. The audience is drawn into the rhythm and invited to feel the freedoms of movement and presence – get together, get moving, get avatared.
Aloun Marchal is an award-winning French dance artist, improviser, dancer, and choreographer living in Gothenburg. He tours internationally and has previously been acclaimed for his idiosyncratic stage works BIBI HA BIBI and SONOR among other works .

A playground lost in (dys)function, (dis)order and earplugs. A leftover tarp, a rake without a handle, and a bunch of other everyday objects share space with the three dancers trying to execute a very accurate version of RITE OF SPRING.
A great classic, reformulated by Norrdans’ Artistic Director Martin Forsberg. This creation is a macrocosm in a small space, where scales, volume, and vibrations take center stage. The beauty finds its place next to the sublime and the captivating next to the distorted. The dance comes dangerously close and the grand notes of composer Stravinsky manifest in a small but explosive ensemble, a form of rebellious playfulness and total lack of sacrifice.
After the re-premiere on 12 Jan 2024 in Härnösand, RITE OF SPRING finds its way through venues in the north of Sweden. In addition to this, the production will make an extensive tour in the autumn of 2024, as a co-production with Riksteatern. The piece is available for international touring.
RITE OF SPRING was part of the program at The Swedish Biennial for Performing Arts 2023.

Welcome to an unique music event at Hangaren, Subtopia, in Botkyrka, Stockholm (SE) on 19 Nov 2023. Meet the dancers Henrietta Wallberg, Katarina Eriksson, Daniel Staaf, and Adam Stanišić Stålhammar with Västerås Sinfonietta and youth choir Stockholm`s Music Gymnasium, together with 100 children from schools in Botkyrka. Artist and director Charlotte Engelkes and conductor Christian Karlsen's idea is to allow children, perhaps for the first time, to meet and express themselves to symphonic music. During five school weeks, dancers and children meet together to make one big dance concert. The focus is also on letting the children's own thoughts about life and death be told to Mozart's famous piece Requiem from 1791.
Come and experience how over 100 children of primary and middle school age take on Mozart's otherworldly beautiful Requiem. A celebration of life through movement and music. Four dancers, 60 young choir singers, and a symphony orchestra together with the children create a powerful work of art for all ages in the large Hangar at Subtopia in Botkyrka, Stockholm (SE).
A dance concert with symphonic meetings for young people, where the children become dancers, bodies, and voices to the painfully beautiful and famous Mozart's Requiem. More info and tickets here.

Gunilla Heilborn and her team have now started working on DANTE - a new piece dealing with indecision, the Middle Ages, constant wanderings, and conversations with people in other times. "...a man, being just as hungry as thirsty, and placed in between food and drink, must necessarily remain where he is and starve to death." — Aristotle, On the Heavens
A residency in November at Vitlycke Centre for Performing Arts (SE) will end with a public showing of the material they have developed so far; songs, dialogues, some vague choreographic material and probably a choreographer talking about the Middle Ages and her love for the 14th century poet Dante Alighieri. There will also be cake for everyone.
The showing is on 30 Nov 2024 - more info here. DANTE will premiere at Dansens Hus in Stockholm (SE) in March 2024. A co-production with Norrlandsoperan, Dansens Hus, Vitlycke Centre for Performing Arts Supported by Swedish Arts Council, Swedish Arts Grants Committee.

On 1 Nov 2023 Johanssons pelargoner och dans held a masterclass at The SEGNI New Generations Festival in Mantova (IT). The participants were introduced to the artistic ideas of the company and were invited to try parts of the participatory performance THE CHOREOGRAPHY. The same performance will be played at Theaterrevier in Bochum (DE),on 3-5 Dec 2023.
THE CHOREOGRAPHY is an interactive performance based on audience participation. Everyone in the audience gets a pair of headphones through which they will hear a voice telling them how to move, how to relate to one’s body, and how to relate to one another. In other words, there are no dancers or actors in the performance, but it is instead the audience itself that creates THE CHOREOGRAPHY together.
THE CHREOGRAPHY is available in 18 languages. Each audience member chooses which language they want to listen to. Regardless of language, everyone can participate together and listen to the same instructions.
Read more and listen to a sample from THE CHOREOGRAPHY in any of the languages here.

LANDSCAPES IN PROCESS is a work-in-progress showing of Anna Öberg´s upcoming work LANDSCAPES, presented on 25 Nov 2023 at the FLOCK Festival,
Returning to trading as a choreographic method (focusing on transference and transformation), LANDSCAPES explores groove-based movement practices originating from social dance genres such as house and folk dance. The aim of the work is not to showcase the meeting of genres but to explore how similarities and differences through deconstruction and transformation can be exchanged between the dancers and musicians, to form new and fleeting landscapes of crafts, narratives, and experiences. Thematically, landscapes are explored as a metaphor for shifts, opposites, and the complexities of human personalities.
In LANDSCAPES IN PROCESS, choreographer Anna Öberg, along with dancers Viktor Fröjd and Jon Bugge Mariussen and sound designer Elize Arvefjord, generously share their work process in close interaction with the audience. Read more here.

[…IT IS CONTAINED IN…] is a tribute to water, our greatest life source. The duo, Land Before Time (Joanna Holewa Chrona and Yared Tilahun Cederlund), is exploring the different qualities that water has and how it reminds us to stay connected to our natural surroundings and relearn some of our fundamental needs to become more human: Feel, adapt, remember, connect, communicate, be. The performance is an honest journey together through nothing and something, little and much, silence and harmonies, stillness and movement. With and by Joanna Holewa Chrona and Yared Tilahun Cederlund.
Performance: 25 Nov 2023 Magasinet, FLOCK Festival, Falun (SE). Read more and find tickets here.
