Frasing and Focus

The blog has moved to the homepage of the Royal Opera:

Altough I will continue to blog in English on this blogpage.

Degenerator is for six female dancers from the Royal Swedish Ballet. They are:


Katja Björner

Jeannette Diaz-Barboza

Sandra Gerdin

Ylva Helander

Irina Laurenova

Kristina Oom

There is, in my own oppinion, in the world of dance, theater and opera still lingering remains from an older social structure otherwise obsolete in todays society.

There the director or the choreographer always has the last word.
At least within the institutuion theaters where lack of time never allows for long creative processes.
Therefore I try as a choreographer to involve every dancer as much as I can.
Each an every individual has their own way of taking in the choroegraphy or the visions of teh choroegrapher and thein it is important to understand the differences between each and every artist and to see to their needs.

In Degenerator I have therefore tried to listen as much as I preach.
