Dancing with many tongues and between different dance traditions.
Dancing the many dances that have danced us.
Gazing our sensation while embodying work.
Gazing at our sensation while embodying work.
The students from the Dance Performance program at Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) will present a three-hour performance at Accelerator. You are welcome to attend the full performance, or come and go as you please.
They will reactivate past dances and ask: How can the many acts of embodiment that have shaped us be generative? By combining different dance traditions, they will share the process of a workshop that took place in the past year: three days in January (“Watch out! Watch us!”), one full week in May (“Accelerating is also deceleration”) and a week in September (“Nothing is new, can you repeat it?”).
caterina daniela mora jara (Argentina/Chile, 1988) is a performing artist and researcher. Coming from the territory called Patagonia by expeditionary colonizers, she was born in a city that carries the name of the general who organized the genocide and the displacement of native people. Trained in academic dance and folkloric dance, caterina’s work aims to problematize the modes of production and colonial legacy in representation of Western dance. Her pedagogical approach uses intimacy as procedure and explores translation as transgression. caterina is currently doing a PhD at SKH, Uniarts (Stockholm). She got married to have a residence permit in European territory.
