Animalarium Dance Collective Chore-Constellating: Embodied Storytelling and Collective Meaning Making at Ställbergs gruva, 14th and 15th of August!
Welcome to two today long workshop at Ställbergs Gruva hosted by Animalarium Dance Collective!
In this workshop Animalarium Dance Collective will share their improvisation practice Choreo-Constellating. Participants will explore themes related to their upcoming creation, Constellation #3, being developed on-site in collaboration with Ställbergs gruva.
The workshop is for professional artists and no previous performing arts experience is needed. We use voice, movement, gestures and language. We will explore how to create a dramaturgy/story collectively and in the moment. The two days will consist of guided explorations, performing in small groups as well as witnessing each other and reflecting together.
The workshop is facilitated by Liv Schellander and Alexandra Wingate, joined by collaborator Ina Dokmo and Siri Anna Flesburg.
Choreo-Constellating is a practice for artistic expression, research and collaboration. Developed by Liv Schellander and Animalarium, this unique method integrates sensory work, embodied perception, movement, voice, language and improvisation. Developed within the framework of contemporary choreography and somatic and systemic inquiry, it serves as a practice for collective meaning making through embodied storytelling, offering a dynamic way to map relation/ships, histories, and speculative futures through the body.
The practice invites a multisensory presence, fostering an interdependent awareness that contrasts with the isolating tendencies of contemporary culture. It offers a space where collective experience can be digested through movement and shared experiencing—something dance has historically provided across cultures.
Liv Schellander and Alexandra Wingate are artists working in dance and performance. Liv, based in Vienna, enjoys collaborating with other artists in long-term processes. She develops her artistic practice Choreo-Constellating together with Alexandra for their project Animalariums’ Constellations. Liv and Alexandra share a history and focus on improvisation and founded the Animalarium Dance Collective together with Lena Kimming. Alexandra, based on the Swedish northwest coast, works closely with dancers to create pieces that explore cultural ideas and symbols. She is a part of Ställbergs gruva and has both worked as part of the project management team and as a participating artis. Both artists are passionate about bringing new perspectives and creative processes to their work.
This workshop is supported by Perform Europe 2025.
Perform Europe is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union and implemented by a consortium of six organisations: IETM – International network for contemporary performing arts, European Festivals Association (EFA),Circostrada, European Dance Development Network, Pearle * - Live Performance Europe and IDEA Consult.
