At this AN HOUR WITH
We invite you to meet the 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. In addition, she will encourage a shared conversation about power, intimacy, ownership and the practice of collectivity and ownership on a stage.
Alvilda will share thoughts and questions surrounding her choreographic practice and fascination with the body's ability to accommodate and express conflicting states - tenderness and resistance, vulnerability and strength. She is particularly concerned with how fiction can disrupt the politics of the body and open up new narratives that challenge conventional power structures and norms.
the artist
Alvilda explores drama, fiction and feminist body representation.
She asks the question: What happens when fiction enters the realm of physical expression and challenges our perception of what is possible or permissible? How, through movement and form, can we see and set aside social and political meanings that are constantly inscribed in the body?
Alvilda Faber Striim
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.
About the format
An hour of informal conversation, which allows for brief or intense immersion in an artistry or artistic practice.
It is an opportunity to meet artists in informal settings and gain insight into knowledge that is usually only available to the people who are part of the work process.
Alvilda Faber Striim participated in the study SUB BODY, which was shared with an audience during HAUT's YC Festival 2023.
