Take Care of Caring

The project is rooted in contemporary dance research and explores what an aesthetics of embodied care might look like. How can it be choreographed? Does such a choreography already exist, and do we need to challenge it?
Taking as its starting point various improvisational and somatic scores centered on different practices of witnessing, supporting, touching, and sharing, 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.

THE TEAM BEHIND

Keren Hoffman: I am a dance artist and educator based in Copenhagen since 2023. I have been researching, performing, and teaching in the expanded field of performance art, with a focus on somatic movement, improvisation, and embodied facilitation. I have worked internationally as a freelance dancer with various choreographers, while also teaching dance and movement practices to people of all ages. My research focuses primarily on care, trust, play, and well-being. Stine Laulund Albrektsen: I am a dancer and psychomotor therapist based in Copenhagen. My artistic work and interests lie at the intersection of somatic movement, dance improvisation, voice work, and body therapy, and stem from a process-philosophical understanding of the body as constantly in the process of becoming. I work as a freelance dancer, movement teacher, and researcher, and I focus particularly on the relational potential of dance, both in my artistic research and in my teaching.
