DancePod #21: Celine Orman

THE BODY AS AN ARCHIVE

How do you preserve a movement? How do you archive a dance? What do we want to pass on to future generations?

Celine Orman works as a dance archivist at Skånes Dansteater and is the project manager for Bevara rörelse (Preserve Movement), a project that raises many intriguing questions about dance. About its past, present och future. About the inherent volatility.

Celine introduces you to her work with collecting experiences, perspectives and intentions around a particular dance performance. You’ll get to listen to short extracts from her in-depth interviews with audience members, dancers and the artistic team of Tero Saarinen’s Transit.

Bevara rörelse is funded by the Swedish Arts Council.
