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...
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...

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...
Two Bodies Longing
What do we long for? Two bodies are twice the amount of bodyparts compared to only mine. It's not simple to grasp. What will we do with four legs, two spines and the ground. Our barefoot feet travels in patterns that only they will record. I tune in. I melt into the...
