Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
About this portal
Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) was established in 2014 and have about 500 students and 250 employees. With our unique composition of education and artistic research, we want to create new opportunities for societal development and knowledge of tomorrow.
On 1 June 2016 SKH was authorised to award artistic third-cycle degrees in artistic practices. Exposition is an integrated part of artistic work at SKH. Each research project must present (stage, narrate, sing, choreograph and so on) its results in a way that is both rigorous and consistent. This requires research to be critically reviewed by peers in a combination of different exposition formats. By developing different formats in which peer review can be carried out, research within the area also addresses the challenges that arise when research is formulated and presented in forms that communicate through an artistically performed experience and thereby contribute to pushing the boundaries that existing forms of publication and dissemination of research set for the ambitions of artistic research.
Stockholm University of the Arts enables its researchers, PhD Candidates and staff to present their projects and findings on SKH’s RC portal in order to publish, archive, and internationally connect their artistic research.
SKH organizes private lessons and workshops aimed at our students, researchers, and employees. For bookings, please contact: heidi.paateremoller@uniarts.se.

Kroppsliga iakttagelser
(2025)
author(s): Aleksandra Czarnecki Plaude
published in: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
After a long-term effort with “the body as an instrument” with the spotlight and focus on acting I was interested in exploring how my experience and practical knowledge of the actors physical skills could be “borrowed” and “translated” in encounters with several artistic disciplines both within and outside the stage area. The body is present in all artistic activity that in some way relates to the story of man. But the thought of the body isn't necessarily the same as a bodily and embodied thought. This nuanced and problematized approach has resulted in the research project Bodily Observations - on the lookout for new physical skills that I conducted in 2013-2015.

MA: digital demons
(2024)
author(s): Johannes Rydinger
published in: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
Digital Demons deals with themes of religion, shamanism and spirituality.
These are some traces of media matter that surfaced during the two year masters program The Art of Impact at Stockholm University of the Arts.
Among them are videographic essays, video sketches and a recorded performance that all have worked as research tools for finding an aesthetic language and narration structure that can be used in documentary and hybrid filmmaking.
