The performance

City Fragments
The performance is the result of the project Site Specific Nordic Projects where choreographer, dancer and photographer developed and presented performances at selected locations in Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen and Helsinki.

The project is inspired by the Nordic urban landscape. A landscape that shapes personalities, the streets that change character from day to night, from a moment in busy meeting street to the next surrounded by its silence. One key element is the people in this landscape, their perception and memory, the distance and the closeness to their own experience in life.

The dance takes place in a room with 9 individual peformers and collected images from the city. Simple parts as a car, window, a wall are fixed points for movement between reality and dream. The original soundtrack is a contribution to the movement between different moods and rooms and have a slightly cinematic approach. The light defines the urban space and refers to a more abstract notion of the nordic cities. We explored split focus – parallell focus – pulse – light – life.

The project puts several questions about the urban room and the body as a carrier of communication.
We research cities as space and develop choreographies for dancers and walkers-on in each city. The concept involves choregraphy, dance and movement with inspiration from individual spaces. The idea is to experiment with choreographic material and movement in the different nordic surroundings to give several expressions and angles of approach to the presentations. Four nordic capitals have be visited; Stockholm, København, Helsingfors and Oslo.

The Walls consists of several dance performances by choreographer Emilia Adelöw presented in Oslo in 2005-2008. In year 2005 she converted an office location in central Oslo to a studio where shows were produced, transformed and displayed.
The performances had a presentation from where a basic idea where the theme, choreography and dramaturgy repeats itself in several different contexts. The human body as carrier of communication, with underlying definitions and presentations of problems, is a pervading approach. The performances had portrays different life situations where the private room and space is central. The body language has tension in a moody atmosphere. Stilistic expression in combination with precision and detail in the choreographic language. A poetic form of language with dynamic and a nerve, expressed through movement and dance, gives form to people in relations as well as individuals reactions to inner and outer influences.
Sound design: Live electronics in combination with originally composed music creating the soundscape for the performances.
