Ongoing artistic collaboration
Together with the artists Moa Franzén and Kajsa Wadhia, Tove forms a performance trio investigating voice as choreographic material and method. The trio works with performance, curatorial processes and publications driven by a feminist critique and questions about how body and voice are interconnected in eachothers’ becomings. The trio had a premier of their latest performance work “When dancing was done with the lungs” at Weld, spring 2022. For the performance festival ”Revolve Corporeality”, the trio were curating the program ”Choreo-vocal dialogues”, a context in the intersection of feminist critique, choreography and vocality, presented at Köttinspektionen Uppsala. In this context their latest performance were also presented. Next performance exploration for the trio will happen in the spring and fall 2023 and goes under the title “MUTANT”, Weld, Moderna Dansteatern, Stockholm.
