Found gestures: comfort

One of my ongoing practices has been performance or work for the stage, proceeded by an extensive inventory. This is a collaborative process of finding authentic expressions in fine detail, and then use only the details, basically. This has been a practice of mine since 1995 and is inspired by many different methods. 

With Sanna, Lo och Hanna.

I feel like I have incorporated these methods and made them my own - as a process within the on-going work - where also my experience as a poet and working with text is a vital part. The theme in my present work is mainly about relationships between adults and children as a symbol for the world itself. I was also always interested in comfort. The gestures can be authentic or awkward, and our initial intention is the most interesting thing - what does intention tell us? Also, I’m interested in the act of seeing. Observing comes before language: seeing might be a language itself.
