Manual
by Stina Ehn and Oda Brekke
Manual is a choreography by Oda Brekke and Stina Ehn, created for and with the students of Dansprojektåret at Region Uppsala folkhögskola.
During two weeks the dancers have been involved in methods where the relationships between place, body, impressions and form are being explored. Through a practice that alternates between writing and dancing, the students have conceived movement phrases that carry the meeting with a specific place. In this project we ask how the spectator’s gaze can be choreographed in a way that renegotiates the hierarchy between body and space. Can formal dances become porous in contact with other materials?
