Skälva on Skiing on Skin
Skälva decided to try a score in the jam-space in one of the evening jams at Skiing on skin. We talked to people we wanted to do it with, but did not announce it offically. The dressing room outside was our meeting place. We did some excersises to synch the group and make us feel...
To Explore the In Between Spaces of Amorella
As the boat traveled through ice and cold water under the winter dark sky Skälva crept around in its intestines. We met beside the information desk at deck 7. Four dancers. While most passengers of the ferry were eating dinner, taking a drink or checking best buy offers in the taxfree we travelled up the...

The Hall of Dreams and Decisions
Feeling small in this enormous building – growing bigger while dancing. Surrounded by bricks. See a structure, invent a score. Small stones in different patterns, larger stones shapes crossing streets we can follow. Trembling. We walk and we run. How to hold this space as our own. We fall into each other. My head rests...
The Spin of the Well-dressed
Stureplan. A square in the rich area of Stockholm. Considered rich. With a larger amount of well-dressed people. If you by well-dressed mean similarlooking people in rather expensive clothes and shoes. They know exactly what to wear in formally dress-coded situation and what exact shape of shirt collar to wear this season. It is...
