Residensvisning den 16te nov inom ramen för ”A movement to hold” -ett tvådagarsprogram som samlar konstnärliga praktiker och presentationer från bild- och danskonst, curaterat i samarbete med Alba Folgado.
Nefeli Gioti och Elena Novakovits kommer att undersöka och utforska vad dans kan göra och vad den inte kan göra. De kommer att undersöka potentialen av gemenskap i samarbetsprocesser, och hur vi, även om vi älskar dans, kan tänka kritiskt kring dess roll i en västerländsk kontext? De har ett starkt behov att närmare förstå de löften och drömmar som florerar i dansdiskursen, hur de uppkommer, vad de bär med sig, och vad de osynliggör.
Elena Novakovits is a cultural worker in the fields of dance, choreography and performance: dramaturg, researcher, writer, and curator. She collaborates with independent artists in the context of their artistic trajectory and works in cultural event production. She curates performative, discursive, and educational encounters and platforms. She co-runs the independent curatorial platform undercurrent. She has been selected as a fellow in the fourth cycle of Critical Practice (Made in Yu), where the collective systering was formed. Her research interests focus on ecologies of work, politics of labour, curatorial and dramaturgical practices, and cultural models.
Nefeli Gioti (she/her) is a dance researcher, choreographer and dancer who works between Greece and Sweden. She has completed her MA in choreography at the University of Arts in Stockholm as well as her BA studies in Environmental Science in Greece. Her work delves into the narrative operation in the fields of dance and choreography by exploring discursive practices. Website: https://giotinefeli.wixsite.com/research-choreograph
