Dance Meets Activism : Body in Protest, Conflict and Confinement

An artistic study on how dance, performance and activism connected in my personal life between the years 2023 and 2024 and how I created a dance performance based on that experience. I go through memories of situations from protest, conflict and confinement and share how that informed my artistic- and dance practice. On the side, I contemplate the possibilities of art, especially dance making in the context of civil obedience. The paper also includes some Finnish poems and a short video with music by Orvokki (5Epp0)
