In MELLAN HUSEN PÅ BRANDBERGENS TOPP, we get to follow different people who move through central Brandbergen, in their everyday life, movement patterns and stories. The film is a choreographic relay between the boxing club and the dance floor where we get insight into different realities and experiences of the place Brandbergen.
The film is part of the project Platsverkstan Dans with the goal of portraying people's thoughts and memories connected to Brandbergen. The film is based on the choreographers' meeting with the people and the place, as well as collected questionnaire and interview material from ethnologist Moa Beskow from Stockholm County Museum.

PERHAPS HERE WAS ONLY FORREST is a site-specific soundwalk that can be experienced anywhere where there are some trees. For example in a park or a residential area.
In the soundwalk the participant can ponder over the possible history of the place, their own place in the passage of time and at the sam time get to hang out with a tree for a bit. The soundwalk is inspired by Peter Wollebens book "The hidden life of trees" and takes about 15 minutes to do.
PERHAPS HERE WAS ONLY FORREST //HUDDINGE is especially adapted to Flemingsbergsparken in Granstorp in Huddinge. Go to the round lawn on the map here and start the soundtrack to experience the work.

Multilingualism is a part of our history, present and future. We believe that a performing arts field that reflects that reality, and uses multilingualism as an artistic point of departure, can change exclusionary norms – not only within the performing arts, but also in society at large.
In Antologi för en flerspråkig scenkonst (eng. Anthology for a multilingual performing arts) we have compiled knowledge of language, multilingualism, performing arts, body and power. The participants in the book are choreographers, sociolinguists, educators, psychology researchers, playwrights, activists, translators, philosophers, directors among others.
We hope that the anthology can both increase interest in the multilingual performing arts that exist and encourage more performing artists to work with multilingualism!
