Swedish Performing Arts for an International Audie
nce 2016 1
ART OF SPECTRA The message is punchy and unmistak
able but candid and risk-filled. Choreographer Peter Svenzon and Art Of Spectra’s mode of expression is based on flux and change. The one constant is dialogue – dialogue with the audience. The works question notions of speech, identity, gender, morals and power. The form is investigative and the language open. Peter Svenzon and Ulriqa Fernqvist formed Art of Spectra 16 years ago in their search for an open, multi-faceted form of expression where dance, theatre, music and graphic art become a new hybrid with an almost cinematographic quality. We can see spiritual affinity with the mid-1960s experimental scene in New York and artists such as Robert Ashley, John Cage and Yvonne Rainer. A.O.S. undertakes international residencies, tours and collaborations. Upcoming work for 2016 is based on dramatic texts by Lars Norén. In 2014, Svenzon created a piece for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani. Ulriqa Fernqvist | info@artofspectra.com | www.artofspectra.com Photo: Mats Lindgren.
