It's about what new knowledge(s) generate from us together 
through the experience of the arts of movement and collective performativity.

  • ARTISTIC PROCESS 


  • My practice/s are not mine, they come from diferent places

  • It is important for me to develop ideas and ways of working that don´t necessarily respond to school curricula or to one single practice.  

  • I offer a place where people experience different things and don't feel framed by a particular style or perspective.

  • The starting point is dance and movement. From there we invite reflection and a place for sensing and expanding the ideas of connection.  

 

The way of looking at my practice I understand it as my personal perspective. Is this perspective a way of including different perspectives? Or even question the need of a particular one?  

 

What this way of looking DOES is to generate an opening towards the field of education when it comes to the question about, what do you teach? What's your style? And more importantly to whom.  

 

 

What is important for me is to offer the experience of a different place to others.

RELATION TO ARTISTIC PROCESS

WHAT WE DO 

RESEARCH QUESTIONS

In previows years we  have integrated storytelling, film and photography, as other means of narrative, investigation and expression. We have been exploring movement through dance, developing some written text, and inhabiting our presence through photography and film. 

"It is important for me to create job possibilities that are outside of the stage production"

RESEARCH QUESTIONS

It’s a platform for creative practice grounded in the physical body and a space for self-discovery. Human potential unfolds through our relationships with others, and a queer perspective emerges as we interact and impact one another.

METHODS

ETHICS 

Fauna is an educational and creative platform that intersects art and reflection. The project offers a space for setting the body in motion through knowledge of contemporary dance through a HBTQIA+ perspective (or) for people who identify as HBTQIA+. 

Fauna (as a creative forum) has been in existence for years, and we meet regularly in a physical space capable of containing our creative processes privately and through it sharing a safe space for everyone. 

   

Fauna is nothing about what we already know.

It's about movement for survival in a common ground reflecting not only through our skins but our matter-reality named body.


 


 

sometimes it´s film

sometimes it´s stage performance ...

sometimes It´s just the posibility ... the words.... the ilussion of community 

  • RESEARCH QUESTIONS


    we raise questions about our bodily relationships with others and their affections, 

  • we look at different perspectives of inhabiting the queer body,  

  • questioning the status quo of queerness,  


  • we explore through the body, mind and skin, we embrace physical contact with others and explore further possibilities of interaction and communication and collaboration. 

    Among other things, we ask ourselves how performance art and the experience of performance art, both as performer/dancer and spectator, can contribute to LGBTQ discourses, strengthen the creation of other spaces and opportunities for LGTBQ meetings; physically, intellectually and creatively. 

 

The artistic frame is fundamentally aimed at bodily experimentation, individual and collective creation  

or maybe a publication ....

How can i integrate questions about "mental health" in my practice with others? 

or a booklet... 

ETHICS 

My alignement with the concept of queernes and the LGTBQ+ comunity at this moment.

 

 

To hold and space a create safety while:

 

I´m not "identifying as"

questioning the phenomenon of pronouns 

I don't control/own language and don't want to either

I don't subscribe to certain ideologies 

I don´t pass as "queer" 

 

 

To fully live what one teaches/transfers to others. 

Certain competences are still in developement,

though i share them anyways. 

 

 

 


METHODS: of de-colonizing art / what does that mean? are we figuring it out while doing? 


The starting point is dance and movement. From there we invite reflection and a place for sensing and expanding the ideas of connection.


...sometimes it takes the form a film, soemtimes its a booklet, sometimes its a performance 


- Dance (modern/contemporary) sequencing and instant composition. 

- Different approaches to the body through contact improvisation and somatic methods. 

- Breathing and meditation techniques (knowledge from Yoga). 

- improvisation tools / guided impro

- writing and documentation tasks 

- exploring with film - ex.using mobile phones and professional camara 

- a short introduction to the history of dance (lecture) 

- a brief view of Dance film

is community artistic work posible in the long run? 

how do I/we sustain it? / state of fear/apocalypse/domination

specifically here in Sweden (?)  


individualism v/s community perspectives

Identity v/s procesess of/for de-identification 

 

Community latinamerican perspectives 

Community scandinavian perspectives

 

Why/how/when is our artistic research important?

To whom?

Teaching? Transferring

Not focused on a particular technique 

How do I entitel my self? In a world of entitlements? 

How do I promote the knowledges of dance and movement and different sensitive practices?

Transferring sensitive experiences while working on my private life living what I transfer.
