Min folkdans / ihtōtiā mahcēhua

Research Residency at Critical Path Choreographic Centre for Research, The Drill December 9-13 2019.

I am currently researching my Swedish cultural heritage looking into my fathers family's practice of performing traditional folk dance and music from their village, Färila. In conversation with this I am researching my Mexican heritage on my mothers side - looking at the pre-hispanic and post-colonial practices that I was brought up with.

Identity, Nostalgia and Politics play part in this choreographic research.

In the Rite II: Solo

In the Rite II: Solo, composed for a single body with a polyphonic vocal score by Shoeb Ahmed, was commissioned by the dance-maker and performer Laura Boynes in 2018. It investigates feminine experience through conceptions of resilience, inconvenient space and agency.

The work premiered at the Heath Ledger Theatre, State Theatre Centre of WA in August 2019.

Strange Attractor 

Strange Attractor focus on Trans-disciplinary practices and non-binary forms to help shape our articulation of how experimental practice behaves, how it moves and thinks through embodied research. It operates as an interface between the artists as collaborative peers and their audiences/publics to develop new languages for artistic practice and insight to artistic research.
