In Sahlins new solo piece she explores shaking as a movement, emotions and linguistic metaphor. The performance underscores issues about adaptation, empathy and commitment. The project will be performed and toured in two editions, sometimes in a combination, My Own Bodies – 1st edition, the solo piece & My Own Bodies – All Stars, a group piece performed by a group of 20 local participants after a two weeks workshop with the choregrapher. The material from the solo has been given away and transformed and digested by extended minds and bodies.
