In Other Words

With her intelligent and relativizing take on dance, Ingrid Berger Myhre creates unpretentious and humorous performances. In In Other Words, she continues her play with the capacities and shortcomings of language – using it as a scaffold for dance as poetic expression.

Is dance a language? And if so, how does it speak? With the stage as the page, choreographic writing unfolds a physical discourse with its own syntax, grammar and vocabulary. But what determines these dance expressions? And what does it mean to read dance? In other words, if we are not seeking meaning, how do we expierence sense making while watching this dance?
