More Nordic Dance at Teatermaskinen

With our our sister organisation MKP we organise a a dance workshop that focuses on Nordic romantic art and its relationship to indigenous culture. Did it create the deathblow to indigenous ontologies, or does it inspire to return to our roots? The workshop takes place at Teatermaskinen in Riddarhyttan September 17-28. In the workshop we work together with Mexican choreographer Ricardo Rubio. Together dancers and musicians will investigate how 19th century romantic art can become an inspiration for new contemporary dance. Participants come from Sweden, Norway and Finland.

Drop us a line at info [at] visionforum.eu if you want to join. Participation in the workshop is free.

A public presentation will be held at Etnografiska in Stockholm on November 9. It will take place within the current exhibition on Mexican culture and how it relates to death. More info soon. The project is supported by Nordic Culture Fund's Opstart program.

Jonas Engman who has worked in Sami shamanic traditions all his adult life will lead a workshop at Teatermaskinen June 14-17, 2025.

Xleph in residency in Sweden

Ikfkos’s musical collective Xleph will be in residency at Teatermaskinen May 14-20. They will investigate if music and hypnotherapy together help us to be stronger in the formulation of our own relationship to nature today. They will do so by recording material under hypnosis which will be shaped into their first studio album. The individual members of the collective will also perform a public concert on May 18. Here are some reflections on the project: “Who is the real me?” is one of the most persistent questions in human history. It is a question that obviously has no simple answer. Still, we know that from the day we are born that we are influenced by the outside world. We are primarily shaped by our experiences of the natural environment. What happens when the technological influence becomes stronger and stronger? As our society gradually becomes more complex, the external pressure on each individual becomes stronger, it therefore becomes increasingly important to kno...
