Oct 11+12. innanför / Rebecka Berchtold
Christmas of 2022 I read the book ”jag är himmel och hav” by Jonna Bornemark. In the book she writes about existential experiences of being pregnant and even though I don’t share these experiences with her I recognize her descriptions from dancing. I recognize what Bornemark writes that an experience beyond what she calls ”the social” often is described as an experience ”beyond the earthly”. Always beyond or above, a freedom from body and matter. But in her experience of pregnancy and in my experience of dancing this description feels inaccurate. My experience of dancing is intimately connected to body and matter and not any body or matter – my body and this place. To change spatial preposition Bornemark proposes within (innanför).
During two weeks seven dancers will participate in daily classes initiated by Rebecka Berchtold. After these fifteen hours of training together audience will be invited the 11th and 12th of October.
innanför is a project exploring dance classes as method, format and choreography. With a desire to focus on practitioners’ perspectives and to generate an experiential discourse innanför arranges dance classes, podcast recordings and shows.
