A foot and two hands holding
the sleeping wave
an unseen tremble in heart

I think of this time we are living in now as one of great importance. I think of stories of resistance and the everyday. In my solo practice I have often held fragments of stories in what I do. Silently they have made their marks through my gaze and tensions and flows in my body. I have wanted to see how fragments of stories can come with and meet people in for me new ways.

At this moment of writing, speaking, and dancing, I don't know what form all this will take. Perhaps they will go nesting in gaze and in movements passing through. / Tove Skeidsvoll

This episode of the NPP audiozine allow the listener to be with Tove Skeidsvoll in an everyday situation in her practice and work towards her presentation A place nearby. With her creating A place nearby and this audiozine is musician and composer Johannes Burström, and visual artist and scenographer Sofia Romberg.

In the audiozine, as well as in A place nearby, Tove is dancing with some very small and also great things. Over these last years, playing within a felt sense of our ongoing climate crisis, with its longings for love and justice, this work is continuously gathered and stretched out, re-used, re-forgotten and re-assembled.

Parts of this practice shared in this audiozine is tuning in with and building on from her two years of the Master program New Performative Practices and her practice from being a dancer, choreographer and producer for 20 years. Her works embraces notions of scale, proximity and distance. Curiousness has lead her into working within shifting contexts and roles, collective forms, with architects and designers, music artists and performances for very young audiences and a film practice as an actress and choreographer. Emphasising geographic place and movement in small and big scale has led to different kinds of exchange working with the public space and city scape leading into thoughts of body, movement and being together over species and material.
