MALIN ELGÁN Stockholm-based choreographer Malin E
lgán is continuously pushing the boundaries of exploratory dance. Her latest show, Definitions and Facts, deals with the relationship or non-relationship between choreography and documentation, and how that relationship affects perception. Elgán began working on the project in New York in 2013, when she was an artist in residence at the dance organization Movement Research. She thereafter developed it, and the final piece was premiered as part of Moderna Museet’s After Babel exhibition in Stockholm during the summer of 2015. With its two dancers, Definitions and Facts explores dance’s visibility and its relationship to the exhibition space. Malin Elgán | elganproduktion@gmail.com Photo: Åsa Lundén.
