Practice presentation

With Björn Säfsten and Pär Andersson

In this practice presentation Björn Säfsten and his long time working partner dancer Pär Andersson will try to shed light on the working methods that they’ve developed together. The presentation will intertwine explanations on the hows and why’s as well as display materials from pieces ranging back to 2021. The practices in Säfstens work are dealing with movement as much as text and our aim is to apply some of the practices onto the presentation mode itself an interest that has come back several times in Säfstens work. What happens if the practices are submerged into the specific setting of the practice presentation format itself?

Danced lecture: La quête de l’empreinte

With Nathalie Pubellier and Sibille Planques

In this danced lecture, Nathalie Pubellier invites the audience to explore her creative process. La quête de l’empreinte demonstrates—through the body on stage—how sensory memory serves as both a foundation and a rich gateway to choreography. This presentation offers insight into the underlying approach of her research: identifying or generating the initial state of a material as a point of entry into a dynamic and structuring process.
