rapher Björn Säfsten deals with borders that divide gesture and movement and also how fiction together with identity are produced in choreography. The continuing work, in different formats, sizes and contexts, is made possible together with a close-knit team of alternating performers and artistic collaborators. His latest works include “Idiots” which opened at MDT in Stockholm in October 2014 and “Fictional Copies” which opened in 2013. His latest creations also include “Introduction”, a critically acclaimed piece for two dancers from 2012 and “…AND…”, a commission for Skånes Dansteater 2013. Björn is also organizing a symposium in 2015, presented at and in collaboration with Moderna Museet and MDT in Stockholm. The symposium is an ending point of Björns 3-year research project at Umeå Academy of Fine Arts with philosopher Per Nilsson.
