HIKE (2022)
Book
Self published with
the International Center for Knowledge in the Arts, CopenhagenWhat does it mean to practice dancing in certain precarious conditions - lack of space, time and resources?
In this book, I borrow hiking and let them (the book and hiking) temporarily hold the space-time for dance. I explore and question how a book, entangled with embodiment practices, holds, unfolds and carries imaginaries. It is a contemplation on perceptions of having a body, space, relation and thought through an expanded understanding of dancing. The book is composed of texts written during different artistic processes and workshops. They are notes on (group) confabulations and dialogues, appearing in relations through practicing dancing.

“Being with Hike resembles the experience of The Swimmer in many ways, and this makes me excited, because I get the feeling of being with someone who has a distinct style and who is unflinching in her creation.“
