At this AN HOUR WITH we invite you to meet dance artist Alvilda Faber Striim. Over coffee and croissants she will share experiences from a current research project VILLAGE. This project was developed in collaboration with Sarah Olivia Knudsen during a residency at the Mediterranean Dance Center in Croatia. Furthermore, she will encourage a shared conversation around power, intimacy, ownership and the act of practicing collectivity and ownership on a stage.Alvilda will share thoughts and questions surrounding her choreographic practice and fascination with the body's capacity to hold and express conflicting states—tenderness and resistance, vulnerability and strength. She is particularly drawn to how fiction can unsettle the politics of the body, opening space for new narratives that challenge conventional power structures and norms.
Exploring drama, fiction and feminist body representation, she asks the question: What happens when fiction enters the realm of physical expression, challenging our perceptions of what is possible or permissible? Through movement and shape, how do we see and unsee social and political meanings constantly inscribed onto the body?
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alvilda Faber Striim (she/her) is a dance artist exploring choreographic potentials of bodily encounters.
Through a physical and visual approach, the work proposes universes that intersect reality and fiction. Doing so, she explores how to unfold political and anthropological layers from the organisation of bodies with other bodies or with visually strong objects. As such, Alvilda is interested in examining how objects can be anthropomorphized in performative settings as co-authors with human bodies.
Through exploring imaginary bodies with for example extra appendages attached to the body, such as extra legs or a wig constantly floating in the air, body and object are suggested as subjects and mediums, creating situations that straddle both humor and tragedy.
TICKETS
Participation in AN HOUR WITH is free, but please book your ticket as seats are limited.
AN HOUR WITH
AN HOUR WITH is HAUT's format for an informal conversation, which provides space for short or intense immersion in an artistry or an artistic practice. It is an opportunity to meet artists in an informal setting and gain insight into knowledge that is usually only available to the people who are part of the work process.
Alvilda Faber Striim performed in the research "SUB BODY" which was shared with an audience during HAUT's YC Festival 2023.
