PERPETUATE MOTION

Celine Orman (SE)

Digital presentation
Duration: 45 min

How can we preserve contemporary dance for the future? Dance is in its essence fleeting. The movement is gone in the same instant as it is created. What remains are its resonating traces within us.

Bevara Rörelse (Perpetuate Motion) is a research and archival project documenting people's experiences of dance. A collaboration between Skånes Dansteater and archivist Celine Orman challenging and developing methods for preserving and archiving dance as an artform.

The project consists of interviews with audiences, dancers and creative teams in order to gather experiences, ideas and intentions of a dance work. The interviews with creators and dancers are conducted during the creation of a performance. The interviews with audiences are conducted after they have seen the performance.

Through Bevara Rörelse a more multifacetted archive of contemporary artistic creation. The documentation will be archived in The Music and Theatre Library of Sweden (Musik- och Teaterbiblioteket), a part of Musikverket (Swedish Performing Arts Agency) and lay the ground for future research and re-stagings.
