RESIDENCY

Malmö Dance Week announces an open call for studio residency which are primarily aimed at artists in the street and club dance field.

‍Somnia Soma (Dröm Kropp) - JOHANNA FRÖJD

Somnia Soma (Dream Body) is a performance and audiovisual installation. In the meeting between two artists and the different art forms, the tension field between the ephemerality of the mind and the presence of the body is examined. Based on dreams, loops and rhythmic sequences, they investigate the cycles of being.

The performance takes its starting point from the concept of Dreamtime. Through associative singing and dancing, the material emerges in the meeting between body, voice and space. Together they create a world that vibrates, pulsates and sings itself to life. In this world, the dream becomes an embodied experience, perhaps an opportunity to dream without getting lost?

Johanna Fröjd is a dance artist based in Malmö. With roots in the House dance culture, she is inspired by its social and cultural aspect and context. Her practice revolves around an exploration of improvisation within music and dance experiences. Through a playful exploration of vibration, pulse and rhythm, she creates looping phrasings that open up for both stability and transformation. In this paradox, she explores bodily presence and musical dialogue. Her work has been shown at Dansens Hus, Palladium and Inkonst, among others.
