Dancing Recurrences

Abstract

The collection of paper sheets that you are holding are the reflections of Dancing Recurrences – a performative practice within dance and dance-making. Dancing Recurrences, is an artistic research project by Brynjar Åbel Bandlien, dancer and PH.d candidate at Oslo National Academy of the Arts – Department of Dance (KHiO). This research project took place at KHiO and Henie Onstad Kunstsenter outside Oslo, Norway between 2016 and 2019. Dancing Recurrences is a process alongside Amphibious Trilogies, an artistic research project by choreographer and professor Amanda Jane Steggell. The process resulted in #dancingrecurrences - a performative practice, and these three volumes of text, drawings and interviews that constitute this reflection. All the drawings in this reflection are made by Bandlien. The reflection should be read in relation to the performative practice #dancingrecurrences.
