Movement as the Memory of the Body

2003–2006
Movement as the Memory of the Body was a research project within my professorship in collaboration with other artists, a social gerontologist, a sociologist, a philosopher and an economist.

The Art of Dance in a Frozen Landscape

The Art of Dance in a Frozen Landscape was a study of the cultural factors that influence the expression of movement and gesture. The project was carried out during the polar expedition Arctic Ocean in 2002, organized by the Swedish Polar Research Institute, where I worked on the ice just south of the North Pole. The project was documented in film and text and presented in a dance piece for stage, a dance film, a documentary and a book. Funded by the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat, KUR and Danshögskolans KU-nämnd.
