‍ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

Landscapes explores the intersection of two groove-based movement practices and is created for two dancers with backgrounds in house and folk dance.

‍

Inspired by couple dance as a phenomenon and pulse as a medium the work explores how similarities and differences can be passed on between the dancers in order to create new and fleeting landscapes of crafts and experiences.

‍

A work that strives to give the audience an experience of being immersed in the dance rather than watching it from a distance.

ABOUT ANNA ÖBERG

ANNA ÖBERG is a dancer and choreographer who uses her background in Swedish folk dance as the starting point for both her artistic and research work. In 2015 she was awarded an MFA degree in Choreography at Stockholm University of Arts (Uniarts), as the first traditional dancer in its history. She also holds a Post Master from The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.

‍

Anna’s work comprises her own artistic projects as well as commissions from different venues and institutions in Sweden and abroad. Her deep knowledge of tradition in combination with her innovative approach has drawn a lot of attention to her choreographic work, which is characterized by the creation of multilayered performances with a strong physical approach, often using the interaction between music, space and movement as a central core.
