Rörelsen först: om regi för rörelsebaserad scenkonst
(2019)
Lena Stefenson
Making performances that have movement as a base means in many ways to venture out into an unexplored landscape. What is to be played on stage usually has its origin in a movement-based idea and not in an already written text to be analyzed. How can this work go? Where are the challenges and what methods can be used?
Lena Stefenson has written this book on the basis of her own experiences as a choreographing director with examples from various works as well as her own and others' teaching. The…

(2023)
Karin Willén
SV Exkursion – utflykt i ett politiskt landskap är ett praktikbaserat konstnärligt undersökande arbete som handlar om att tänka närmare efter och att byta ståndpunkt.

Ett osynligt stycke tyg
essä
av Jenny Sunesson, 2022
redigerad 2023
Förord (2023)
Ett osynligt stycke tyg är en essä som utgår från två olika, men ändå överlappande, konstnärliga processer; forskningsprojektet FACT stage one, och det soldrivna, ljudkonstprojektet UNDER.
Essän utforskar ljudets och lyssnandets specifika kapaciteter utifrån min konstnärliga fältinspelningspraktik, vilket är den “ljudmodalitet” som jag har arbetat med i över 20 år.
Texten diskuterar ljudets och lyssnandets pla…
Abstract Narration
(2024)
anders bohman
In this project, I want to create selected filmscenes and investigate how long an abstract narrative can work before it becomes unclear and loses interest, when it is most effective and how it can be defined.
I det här projektet vill jag undersöka hur länge ett abstrakt narrativ kan fungera i en filmscen innan det blir otydligt och tappar intresset, när är det som mest effektivt och hur det kan definieras.

THE ART OF THE WALK CYCLE
(2024)
Rania Ghazali
This exploration delves into the potential of emotional storytelling through walk cycles. Moving beyond traditional animation, it utilises the expressive power of modern tools to explore how line, shape, stroke weight, colour, texture, and sound can be manipulated to create abstract narratives that evoke deeper emotional experience for the viewer.
Drawing on a foundation of psychological principles, scientific research, and relevant articles, the walk cycles become abstract narratives, provoki…

In ”Blodet gränserna arkivet” I have continued the exploration of what obligations I have towards the extensive collections of artefacts connected with my family history that my father left me after my his death, and, even more important, the imaginary kingdom that he had been working on since the age of ten and all the way through his life. He abandoned me, partly to instead engage in made up power struggles in a nation that does not exist. Since I inherited his kingdom and his collection I’ve…

What is the ART of ADHD Social Media Acting - and how is it artistically relevant for everyone to know?
(2023)
Alexander Lindman
I'm on the path to deneurotypicalize acting technique and understand what a social media actor might be and do and and if there is or should be a difference between a neurotypical and neurodiverse way of applying oneself and communicate with said audience on said platform(s)?
During my work I coined the term 'deneurotypicalize' and a definition of art as ART.
Welcome to my exposition: This part is more to be seen as an extended documentation over my 2 years and also as a compendium to my mast…

Urban witches
(2024)
Nitzibon
(Eng)
During the isolation in Mexico due to the pandemic, two groups of people fought their own ideals to prevent the disease: those who believed in scientific research, and those who followed shamans wisdom, the indigenous witches. Contrary to what people might believe, there are still a lot of beliefs in ancestry medicine in urban areas. During 2020 I have filmed clips of beliefs and traditions in different parts of Chihuahua, Mexico. I continued the research in Sweden and displayed the proce…

Hur formen påverkar oss
(2024)
anders bohman
Hur påverkar färg, ljus och form våra sinnen?
Varför är det ständigt så intressant och lockande med den oväntade bilden – med brottet av normaliteten?
Detta konstnärliga utvecklingsprojekt är sprunget ur mina erfarenheter som praktiserande filmfotograf och den del av processen som handlar om ”grading” (färdigställandet av färgsättningen). Ibland uppstår en frustration av att ett arbete inte får det utrymme som krävs för att uppnå ett bra resultat. Processen att skapa en långfilm /TV-serie är…
