DALIJA ACIN THELANDER Dalija Acin Thelander’s wor
k is focused on exploring choreographic practices for the youngest audiences. Her works insist on heightened immediacy and immersion, and address the notion of activated spectatorship and agency as a politicized aesthetic practice. Her performances for babies, conceived as installationbased environments, are designed to induce interplay of the audience’s physical movement and sensory input, and to challenge conventional conceptions of aesthetics for babies. Sensescapes was premiered at Moderna Museet in 2015. Baby Space has been produced in Denmark, Poland and Serbia, and in 2016 will be produced in Japan and China. Both productions are currently on tour. Dalija Acin Thelander | dalija.acin@yahoo.com | www.dalijaacinthelander.net Photo: Dalija Acin Thelander.
