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.
