What is it about the body?
Since their partnership started in 1992, Siri & Snelle have been using their own lives and inadequacies as themes, as a form of silent protest against accepted norms. They have danced beings from Norwegian folklore, they have gone in and out of cupboards, yearned for America - they still do - aired their anxiety about the Cosmos - there we have Snelle - taken back to the Grenland dialect - there we have Siri - creating dance stand-up, dancing text, dancing music. But now they are back to basics. After more than 30 years as dancers, they are returning to the body with an interest which encompasses personal experience, dancers’ knowledge, and a critical look at their surroundings. A poetry of the body.
