Malmö Dance Week and Malmö Konstmuseum are collaborating to host a day focused on navigating the ongoing cultural crisis through dance, lectures, krump and therapy.
It all starts with the two dance artists, Cameroonian-Finnish choreographer Sonya Lindfors and Malmö-based Slowz that are currently developing new dance works. They will share their creative process through both performance and discussion. Sonya brings her dancers Maele Sabuni and Benson A'kuyie. Dung Chinh Nguyen aka Slowz is the recipient of Malmö Dance Week residency 2025 and doing a research that he calls "Adapter" that is a journey into sound and movement where adaptation in all ways is the key.
Sonya Lindfors is an award - winning Cameroonian-Finnish choreographer and artistic director who also works with facilitating, community organizing and education. Lindfors’ recent works One Drop (2023), common moves (2023), We Should All Be Dreaming, camouflage (2021), Soft Variations Online (2020) centralize questions around Blackness and Black body politics, representation and power structures, speculative futurities and decolonial dreaming practices.
Dung Chinh Nguyen a.k.a Slowz is a multifaceted artist – bboy, DJ, performer, music producer and community enthusiast. He entered Hip Hop culture in 2005 as a Bboy and in 2008 he joined "Big Toe Crew", as well as he started his DJ'ing and producing career. In 2011 Slowz and some of Hanoi's Bboys formed "S.I.N.E Crew" which became a known worldwide crew. They toured and entered varies of competitions and performed nationally and internationally. In 2015 "2Groove" was founded by Slowz and his partner Groovy with the purpose to teach street kids and youth in Vietnam, using Hip Hop as a tool to express and uplift their lives. Today Slowz is a key person in the Vietnam Hiphop scene, facilitating workshops, jams, parties and other activities with his collective in Vietnam and also in Sweden where he is now based.
