  • Zö Kramers 1978-1983 (2023) author(s): Olof Halldin published in: Research Catalogue
    Zö Kramers was an orchestra in a mix of punk, reggae, ska, marching music, blues, pop, rock but not jazz. Participating in various roles: Calle Ottestam / bass, vocals, lyrics, music Per Sommarström / guitar, vocals, lyrics, music Martin Fälthammar / drums, text Olof Halldin guitar, keyboard, music, voice, percussion, mixing Mikael Södersten / keyboard, vocals, lyrics, music in addition Peter Söderblom / synth Persa Jacobson / text Katte Salomon / song Joakim Pirinen has drawn and written texts For individual bets - click on "Vilka Vem När Var Hur Vad". History: Zö Kramer's original composition was Calle Ottestam, Per Sommarström, Olle Halldin, Martin Fälthammar and initially Peter Söderblom. Added after about a year did Mikael Södersten. First on drums was Jolly Bod but was soon replaced by Martin. Katte Salomon also sang on the recordings from 1983. Music and lyrics were written by the band members but lyrics were also written by Joakim Pirinen and Persa Jacobson. The band's first name was "Arne & his anabolic steroids". The name "Zö Kramers" comes from Kramer-Pollnow's hyperkinetic syndrome - (dance disease) a psychotic condition characteristic of the band's dance-inspired style. Between 1978-1983, about forty songs were written. About twenty concerts were mostly held on Lidingö. The band's biggest "hit" was Tyska marionetter (German puppets). Live recordings have been available since the beginning and about 25 concerts were performed, but more studio mixes were made in four rounds where the first was done in 1979. Recording was done with a four-channel TEAC tape recorder and TEAC mixer table. Sound improvements were made in 2002 at the same time as digitization and in 2020 before the launch of this website.

  • Dance Studio/Clearing Conversations (2023) author(s): Chrysa Parkinson and Frank Bock published in: Research Catalogue, Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
    Conversations with dance knowledge” is a development work by Chrysa Parkinson, Professor of Dance, and Frank Bock, Senior Lecturer in Choreography, and Andrew Hardwidge. The research is a conversation format that prioritizes movement between textures, atmospheres, qualities, and metaphors to express meaning and knowledge. By balancing somatic experience and language-based exchanges the research prioritizes nuances that emerge between people, places and things in activated space and time. The research is experimenting with question formation, spatial contexts and using simple materials in conversation. The process is documented by objects, texts, drawings, and audio files. The aim of the research has been to develop research methods that can emphasize the authorship, materials and processes of dance and dancers within social and aesthetic discourses of dance and art practices and have direct applications in teaching processes.

  • Att uttala det kroppsliga – på spaning att överbrygga skådespelarens arbete med kroppen som instrument, rörelsegestaltning och dramatisk text (2024) author(s): Olof Halldin, Aleksandra Czarnecki Plaude published in: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH)
    Teater Västernorrlands Dödsdansen utgår från en ny bearbetning. I Aleksandra Czarnecki Plaudes regi är kroppen, rörelsen och musiken tre starka medspelare till August Strindbergs klassiska verk. I rollerna ser vi Teater Västernorrlands skådespelare Gisela Nilsson, Åke Arvidsson och Kaj Ahlgren. August Strindbergs klassiska verk från år 1900 utspelar sig i en tid av förberedelse inför en karantän. De äkta makarna artillerikaptenen Edgar och den före detta skådespelerskan Alice är isolerade på en skärgårdsö. Inför sin silverbröllopsdag får de ett oväntat besök av nära vännen Kurt och ett osande triangeldrama tar sin början. Projektet avser dels fånga och kommunicera mina arbetsmetoder, dels generera ny kunskap i frågan om skådespelarens fördjupade gestaltningsarbete av dramatisk text med och via kroppen som instrument och rörelsegestaltning. Syftet är att genom praktiskt arbete och i samarbete med professionella skådespelare samla, artikulera och kommunicera det specifika i övergången mellan kropp- och textarbete, tvärs genom hela processen, det vill säga från förberedelsefas via repetition till publikmöte. Dödsdansen är resultatet av själva metoden?
