Can we imagine inviting the irone ore under Ställbergs Gruva, the mountain beneath the industrial heritage– and the year 2070 – into a speculative conversation?
Welcome to a one-day workshop in embodied storytelling. Together, we will explore themes and connections emerging from Ställbergs Gruva and its surroundings.
The day begins with an introduction and a gentle arrival. We’ll collaboratively create a living map of themes and ideas – inspired by the place, its history, and the experiences participants bring. We then move into simple physical explorations, giving expression and life to these themes through movement, voice, language, and interaction.
In the workshop, you will experience:
A guided walk through the surroundings of Ställbergs gruva offers the place itself an opportunity to speak into our creative process. The approach blends playful creativity with collective reflection – resulting in an experience somewhere between sci-fi game, collective ritual, and spontaneous choreography.
This workshop is open to everyone – no prior experience is required. You’re invited to participate actively, but you are also warmly welcome just to observe and be present.
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.

In the workshop, you will experience:
- An introduction to Choreo-Constellating: an improvisational practice that invites us to explore complex topics not just intellectually, but through perception, movement, and bodily awareness.
- Living Maps: We co-create a collective collection of themes, questions, and ideas, then embody them as moving landscapes and communicating vessels.
- Playful exploration: It’s all about curiosity and wonder. A space for learning, sharing, and co-creating in a supportive and inspiring atmosphere.
