Downloads of Ingri Fiksdals 2 books: Affective Choreographies and Thinking Alongside

Affective Choreographies

This publication is a part of the outcome of Ingri Midgard Fiksdal’s artistic PhD project “Affective Choreographies” (2013-2018). The project started within the framework of The Norwegian Artistic Research Programme, and was, in 2018, transferred to the new PhD programme in artistic research at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Artistic practice is at the core of this programme. At the same time, the artistic practice is to be accompanied by an explicit reflection, which grants others access into methods and insights that emerge from the artistic research. The artistic PhD project “Affective Choreographies” resulted in the six performances: “HOODS” (2014), “Cosmic Body” (2015), “Shadows of Tomorrow” (2016), “STATE” (2016), “Diorama” (2017) and “Deep Field” (2018), as well as the publication “Affective Choreographies” written by Fiksdal.

This publication is designed by Aurora Bratli Brunvoll in dialogue with Signe Becker and Ingri Midgard Fiksdal.

Ingri Fiksdal

Ingri Midgard Fiksdal (1982) is a choreographer based in Oslo. In 2019 she finished a PhD in artistic research at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, with the project Affective Choreographies.

This research took shape as six performances and three books. Ingri´s work on affect has in recent years taken her into discourses on perspective and privilege. She is currently working on a number of projects addressing the intersection between the post-anthropocentric and the decolonial from a feminist perspective. Ingri is concerned with how practise and theory are entangled in her work in a way where neither is perceived as anterior to the other. From 2020, Ingri is an affiliated artistic researcher with the project CoFUTURES. Pathways to possible Presents led by Bodhisattva Chattopadhayay at the University of Oslo ( http://cofutures.org/home.html )

Ingri´s work has in recent years been performed at Kunstenfestival in Brussels, Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Santarcangelo festival, Beijing Contemporary Dance Festival, Sommerszene in Salzburg, Reykjavik Art Museum, brut-Wien, Teatro di Roma, Harbourfront Centre Toronto, Contemporary Art Center Cincinnati, BUDA Kortrijk, Tanzhaus NRW in Dusseldorf and Steirischer Herbst Festival in Graz, alongside extensive touring in Norway.

From 2016 to 2020 Fiksdal is supported by apap-Performing Europe 2020 – a project co-funded by Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. Her work receives base funding from the Norwegian Arts Council.
