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...
Body Language
Carlie: "The cell phone is off. It implies you are more important than a random call, and I wants to be fully present for our day out,"1 Taylor: "Your colleagues have a meeting that concerns you, without inviting you"2 Carlie: "They do all of this patting and clutching of hands that maybe...
To Move in Junkspace
If you saw us running (playing tag) without knowing us, would you dare to join? There were som young people who talked about joining but they didn't dare. They made some movement. I was surprised that so many people smiled at us when we were running in between the mass of bodies passing...
The Release Party
Thank you all who came. Thank you all that will come next time there is a Skälva-party. The release of the blog was a release. Relaxing and flowing. We have really dreamt about this and now it is materializing in front of our eyes and in our bodies, a lot of bodies even. So there...

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...
Between the Lost Objects
The generation of human is like that of leaves. The wind scatters one year's leaves on the ground, but the forest burgeons and and puts out others, as the season of spring comes round. So it is with humans: one generation grows on, and another is passing away (Homeros?, 700 BC). Looking inside yourself for...
The Secret Square
I spend most of my time in a really small space. I live in the dark. It is my natural resting place. Comfortable. Safe. Cosy. I sometimes go out. Rarely on my own. Usually someone pulls me out. I rely on help. Home is a nice place to be. When I go out I...

Among the Oaks
”To roll down a slope is something I've definitely had a too small dose of. The accelerating speed that takes me down to the grass field. A good start to become one with the space.” ”It felt like when I was a child and went down the big slope with my sledge. The...
The Hill of Garbage and Gravity
Gravity is a force. We feel weight on earth because gravity is pulling us down, while the floor or ground stops us from falling. We are pressed against it. Modern physics describes gravitation using the general theory of relativity, in which it is a consequence of the curvature of spacetime governing the motion of inertial...
The Continuation – the Park
A score outside. A ritual. A way to explore the place. A way to explore yourself. A way to explore us. The first event was more of a improvisation. For this second event, the continuation of the first event, Skälva prepared a score. A score is a set of rules or transitions that aim to...
