After Work : A book about the meaning of Work
- 2022. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Economic stress under wage-earning has been abolished. Machines and AI have taken over dirty, heavy and tedious work. Money and social injustice are banned. All the technological resources of humanity can be used to reset the global economy to harmonize with ecology. Free citizens can spend their time in leisure practicing music, art, and poetry.Visions of the future are already here. But is it a utopia that we are seeing materializing around us or a dystopia? What will happen to people when nobody wants their labor? Does there already exist a firm border between those who have a job, with all that it entails in social and economic benefits, and the people that are on the other side of the fence- the people that have to sell their work by the hour, and who in practice are modern slaves under apps and SMS? A division between people who can safely work from home during a pandemic and those who cannot. Is everything for sale? Can you sell voluntary labour? These are some of the questions discussed in the art projects documented in this book.

Image as Site
- 2020
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- By appropriating the concept of site from the discourses of site-specific art and the concept of field from sound art, and applying them to the moving image, the project Image as Site explore the potential of video art for enabling certain elements of performance that appear in these discourses. The research originates from an understanding of video as a particular mode of inquiry that activates relationships between bodies, images, and places. The project expands this understanding and engages it to create meetings between visual arts and film and media practices. The practice of visual artist and professor in Film and Media Ellen J Røed is at the centre of the project, which is developed in an interdisciplinary research environment at Stockholm University of Arts and funded by the Swedish Research Council.

Extending Opera - Artist-led Explorations in Operatic Practice through Interactivity and Electronics
- 2015
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How can we re-empower opera singers, extending their control over accompaniment and vocal expressivity? To answer this question, I have opened a novel design space, Extending Opera, consisting of interactive artist–operated tools to be used on-stage. The research has its methodological groundings in Research through Design (RtD) and Research through the Arts (RttA). This particular method is coined "research-throughthe- art-form-opera" – as I have worked within the realms and traditions of opera, probing its boundaries by designing, researching and creating through its own artistic toolbox.Originally conceived for personal use, the artifacts were later used by other singers and incorporated in performances of opera in small and large scale. By composing and designing for the requirements in operatic productions, high demands on robustness were explored in and through custom-built interfaces.The work resulted in ten novel artifacts and performances exploring the expressivity of these tools. Extending Opera is guided by and probed through three questions:1. How can the design and creation of interactive, artist-operated instruments be informed by deep musical knowledge and be probed by the particular conditions surrounding an operatic production?2. What impact can interactive, artist-operated instruments have on the opera singers themselves and on their vocal technique?3. How can interactive, artist-operated instruments empower opera singers, thus challenging contemporary power hierarchies – thereby reconnecting to the explorative practice in opera's early days?My knowledge contribution has surfaced through artistic practice and consists of the exemplars and the artworks, as well as three abstractions – one procedure, one requirement and one experiential quality.Sensory Digital Intonation highlights how the fine-tuning of technologies and real-time interactivity is incorporated in a feed-back loop with artistic concerns and creativity.Performative Stamina ("The Premiere-Factor") highlights how the traditional procedures leading up to a premiere in opera influence the demands on robustness and reliability within the components and the overall design of the novel artifacts.Vocal Embodiment is an experiential quality that describes how the interactive artifacts change the singing itself.In the conclusion, Artistic Re–Empowerment is discussed, proposing that power structures in opera have been probed through the use of the novel artist-operated interactive instruments.

What syllabus documents can tell us about the presence and position of dance in Early Childhood Teacher Education: A Swedish perspective
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study problematizes becoming early childhood teachers’ possibilities to develop knowledge relevant to teaching dance. The aim was to analyze the presence and position of dance in Swedish early childhood teacher education syllabi. Discourse analysis was used to identify patterns, regularities, hierarchies and gaps in the steering documents. The empirical material consisted of syllabi of twelve Swedish early childhood teacher programs. The results show that according to syllabi, dance as a subject has a rather weak or non-existent position in Swedish early childhood teacher education. Instead, dance often functions as a tool for learning other subjects, e.g. language and mathematics. The concept “aesthetic” was more frequently mentioned in the syllabi, but it did not explicitly explain what dance knowledge was included in the syllabi content, learning outcomes and examination forms. The frequency of dance differed between the syllabi, which might lead to unequal early childhood teacher education. Further, the potentially weak function and position of dance in early childhood teacher education might limit children’s social democratic life, bodily knowledge and experience of mind-body connection in a holistic sense.

Den skrattretande teatern : ett år med Gösta Ekman och hans vänner
- 2009
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vad betyder skrattet, det som får oss att skratta vad är det egentligen? På Teaterhögskolan i Stockholm ägnade skådespelare och magisterstudenter ett år åt att i första hand praktiskt, men också teoretiskt, utforska det skrattretande. Under ledning av professorerna Gösta Ekman och Karin Helander, tillsammans med delar av Sveriges främsta humorelit har studenterna studerat äldre och nyare genrer inom komisk gestaltning. Karaktärsarbete, fars, clown, standup och improvisationsteknik stod på schemat. Stor vikt lades även vid att utforska rörelsens komiska potential.En ständigt pågående diskussion fördes kring det skrattretande, både mellan studenter och lärare liksom även mellan Karin Helander och Gösta Ekman. Stora delar av de senares inspelade samtal finns återgivna i boken. Flera av årets gästföreläsare bidrar med egna tankar och reflektioner kring skrattretande scenkonst. Med Karin Helander som ciceron och Gösta Ekman i centrum, i gott sällskap av flera av magisterårets gästföreläsare och inte minst magisterstudenterna själva, leds vi in i den skrattretande teaterns mångfasetterade värld. Karin Helander är professor i teatervetenskap, prisbelönt föreläsare och lektor vid Stockholms universitet.

Material of movement and thought : reflections on the dancers´s practice and corporeality
- 2013
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The articles in this volume have grown out of a research project entitled "FromMovement out of Reflection in Becoming: The Dancer and the Creative Process",gathering both professional dancers and theoreticians, and funded by theSwedish Research Council. The overall goal of the project was to approach anunderstanding and a conceptualization of the artistic process of the dancer, takingthe work in the creation ofina Christe!Johannessen's choreographic pieceNOW SHE KNOWS as a point of departure.The focus was both that of the dancer from within the process, and that ofexterna! observers. These viewpoints were not deadlocked hut rather aimed atan interaction and a dialogue between the theoretical and the practical levels.The research methods grew out of an at times quite intimate teamwork wherethe participants' different approaches came to cross and intersect.A number of issues were explored: How does the dancer work in the processwhere the dance takes shape? How does the understanding of a movementmaterial shift through the actual performing of it? What is it to understandor experience a movement from the perspective of the performer? What is itto understand or experience a movement from the perspective of the spectator?What kind of body is the dan ing body and how can it create a variety ofmeanings? Through what concepts are we to think the dancer's practice andcorporeality?The anthology contains essays by Cecilia Roos, Anna Petronella Foultier,Chrysa Parkinson, Katarina Elam, Cecilia Sjöholm, and Irene Hultman.

The Vocal Chorder : Empowering opera singers with a large interactive instrument
- 2014

Ingår i: CHI '14 Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. - New York, NY, USA : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9781450324731 ; , s. 1001-1010

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- With The Vocal Chorder, a large interactive instrument to create accompaniment, opera singers can get more power over the performance. The device allows performers to interactively accompany themselves through pushing, leaning on and bending steel wires. The design was guided by the unique needs of the solo-singer, explored through autobiographical design and material explorations, some on stage, and later tested by other singers. We discuss how designing for opera and for the stage requires extraordinary durability and how opera performances can change with a bodilyoriented instrument such as The Vocal Chorder. Through a designerly exploration, we arrived at a device that offered (1) a tool for singers to take control over the rhythmical pace and overall artistic and aesthetic outcome of their performances, (2) an enriched sense of embodiment between their voice and the overall performance; and (3) a means to empower opera singers on stage.
