DOCH Bachelor Programme in Dance Performance presents Nadja Hjorton "40 MINUTER" & Örjan Andersson "FRONT"

Nadja Hjorton "40 MINUTER"
The BA students at the University of Dance and Circus (DOCH) together with Nadja Hjorton and Chrisander Brun, have worked with a performance practice for the past 4 weeks that develops their capacities to sense and work with the reactions and relationships that this brings about. It practices being an open, accessible and multi-perceptive entity. By constantly, through the entire work, insisting on practicing instead of rehearsing, they want to move the focus from a more traditional entrance to choreography and dance (how something looks or is interpreted) to the experience, the exploration and the potential.

Örjan Andersson "FRONT"
Örjan Andersson presents a phrase to the BA students at DOCH, which they perceive as "jazzy". They examine the phrase further, seeing each other while perceiving the moment of movement, all the while knowing what the other members of the group are experiencing. The aim is for the choreography to evolve into a space where the spectator can share and cherish the experience.
