Take care of caring

The project is based in contemporary dance research, investigating what an aesthetics of embodied care might look like. How can it be choreographed? Is there already such a choreography and do we need to challenge it?
With a starting point in various improvisational and somatic scores evolving around different witnessing-, supporting-, touching- and sharing practices, the project aims to explore the aesthetic dimension of embodied care and how that might be expressed through a set of tasks, movements, interactions and/or gestures.

My artistic work and interest lives in the intersection of somatic movement, dance improvisation, voice work and body therapy, and grows from a process-philosophical understanding of the body as always becoming.
