Our own ensembles are an extremely important part of the development and resources that the Knowledge Centre has to offer. We currently have one dance ensemble and two music ensembles.
The ensembles have in common their extensive experience of co-creative and laboratory artistic processes. These processes are often transnational — across art forms, but also in stylistic clashes such as traditional and non-traditional, and different ways of working. They have a confidence in the process that they have acquired through a variety of collaborations with operators such as choreographers, composers, musicians and researchers. Both in Swedish and international contexts.
An important part of the process is to find ways to communicate artistically when the participants have different experiences, backgrounds and abilities. It is also very much about experimenting with both process and expression, questioning what art is and what it can be.
