Dancing with Memory | Dansehallerne

In this week of morning training, I will share a core part of my choreographic practice: the memory scores. These scores are simple, yet deeply attentive structures that I have developed over time as the foundation of several of my works. They invite an encounter between dancing and remembering—where memory is not merely recalled but becomes an active force in shaping movement.

Through the scores, we will practice moving with memories, allowing them to form our dancing, and letting dancing, in turn, awaken memories. Some scores will invite solo dancing while others will guide us into shared practices.

The sessions will offer space to connect with what feels absent, what longs to be remembered, or what needs to be met—whether from the past, the present, or even the not-yet. Together, we will explore how memories – personal, collective, or imagined – may become a ground for both movement and relation. This is not a therapeutic practice, though it may touch sensitive places. It is an artistic inquiry into how memory shapes dance, and how dance can become an act of collective remembering.

The classes are held at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27 DK-1799 Copenhagen V in Studio 3.
