The Project:

While staying in Ytre Arna, Carima Neusser will be in residence at Bergen Dansesenter with the Swedish dancer Emelie Wahlman. Since 2019 Carima has been developing a research project where she investigates body language in cinematic work and how it can be translated into live situations and movements. During the residency they will investigate the Italian film director Luchino Viscontis films and experiment with translating movements from the film to movements in space. The time in the studio together will be structured by an open ended research with no set goal but to experiment together and see what comes out, film watching, improvisations and meditation/discussion.
