Fifty Ways to Leave a Shape (2023)<\/span><\/h4>\n

Fifty Ways to Leave a Shape<\/em> is a personal solo that can be described as the internal process of having to say goodbye to a body part, a tribute to Siri J\u00f8ntvedt\u00b4s worn-out hips, and a welcoming of two brand-new joints. It is a reset in order to identify new opportunities. After more than thirty years as a dance artist, she has to teach herself to let go and not hold on. \u201cFifty Ways to Leave a Shape\u201d is an exploration of the realization that everything changes, and of the search for new physical meaning \u2013 a sensory journey through the transformation and confrontation involved in leaving something behind, and finding the way into something new. Through various expressions of song, film, text, and dance, the audience can join this poetic and personal journey. The performance shows traces of what she has been through, what is to come, and a deep love of movement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Siri\u2019s artistic practice revolves around the experimental, the personal, the human, and the honest, as an approach to creating art and to life itself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She received her dance training at\u00a0the <\/span>Oslo National Academy of the Arts<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(KHiO), the Ballet Academy in Gothenburg, the Norwegian National Ballet School, and Merce Cunningham Studio, and through extensive studies of improvisation and various release-based and somatic dance techniques in New York and Europe.<\/span>

\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Siri\u2019s physical practices are based on a love for the art of improvisation, choreographic scores as well as working with voice and text. Exploration and listening are central methods, and through resonance and responding, her work connects with what goes on in society at large.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>These practices support self-experience as a basis for developing material and create a space where the intuitive and formal can meet and where seriousness and humor can merge.<\/span>
