We immersed ourselves in a transformative exploration of body politics at the Nordisk Teater Laboratorium. This week was a meeting of hearts, minds, and cultures. We had the honour of welcoming a vibrant group from Vesthimmerland Asylcenter in Holstebro, uniting individuals from diverse corners of the world in a shared creative space. Our starting point was simple, yet profound: whose body, and whose politics? What stories do our bodies carry, and what histories shape their movement?
Through dance, music, and spontaneous improvisation, we began to unravel those questions—not just with our words, but with our breath, rhythm, and shared silence. Despite our different origins, we found ourselves moving to the same beat, standing on common ground. The studio turned into a living, breathing lab—its walls alive with sketches, writings, and reflections that gave shape to our evolving dialogue.
We discovered that body politics isn’t a fixed concept—it’s a living, pulsing space where identity, emotion, and voice collide. It is where mixed heritages become strength, and where being seen and heard becomes a radical act of connection.
In that week, we didn’t just explore—we resonated. We listened deeply, moved with purpose, and created something beyond language: a collective vibration of presence, courage, and unity.
Besides images and videos and texts, we made a special playlist, where you can access the emotions and dynamics we have been processing and including in our own bodies, minds and souls the whole week.
