Performance lecture - the meaning of movement

of and with Cecilie Lindeman Steen


Tuesday 5 Nov. 13:00, Hammerfest Library


Dance information Norway honorary winner Cecilie Lindeman Steen dances and talks about experiences and thoughts around dance and dancing.

In an easy-to-follow way, Steen explains principles related to movement in time and space, and gives examples of how meaning can arise in dance and how dance affects us purely kinaesthetically and physically.

Steen draws on examples from both her own experience of dancing, but also from being in the audience herself. The stories and examples are taken from the work of several well-known Norwegian as well as some international choreographers. The performance lecture is therefore also a kind of easy-to-follow historical introduction to dance, but is primarily designed to open up how dance can be experienced, understood and felt in different ways.

Please note that the lecture is in Norwegian.

Performance lecture - the meaning of movement was developed and premiered in January 2013 on behalf of Dance Information Norway and Kedja, Writing Movement and has so far been shown in Bærum Kulturhus, for authors in Oktober Forlag, at Dance House Norway/ CODA in 2013 and at DanseHallerne in Copenhagen in 2014.

In the demonstration, Cecilie presented renowned choreographers' contributions to the development of dance and gave both an insight into how she worked with performing as a dance artist and what moved her as an audience member. She argued that body and language are inseparable and, through her flashbacks, gave us a vocabulary to talk about the performance and experience of dance.

"Cecilie Lindeman Steen did a demonstration where she explored well-known choreographers and performances. She danced and spoke with great choreographic and communicative ability through various choreographic techniques and tools, while also demonstrating how consciously chosen elements such as music, scenography and the dancer's intention can change movement material. ” Ine Therese Berg, Oppsummering av Writing Movement, Bærum Kulturhus - Dance Information Norway 30.01.2013
