Sequences XII: Pause presents a dance performance by R\u00f3sa \u00d3marsd\u00f3ttir.<\/p>\n

R\u00f3sa \u00d3marsd\u00f3ttir<\/strong> (b.1988, Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland) is an Icelandic choreographer and performance artist whose work explores bodily presence, slowness, and ecological movement.<\/p>\n

Her choreographic research Sk\u00f6r – A variation on cruelty and care, is a dance installation where audience members are free to enter and exit at any time. The performers oscillate between holding and pushing, protecting and exposing, inviting and rejecting.<\/p>\n

The performers form a kind of ecosystem, a shifting network of bodies in relation, where tension builds and dissolves through proximity, repetition, and subtle negotiations of power. The piece explores the physical and relational boundaries between care and cruelty, not as opposites, but as forces that often blur or overlap. A gentle gesture may conceal resistance; a firm grip may contain care. Loosely inspired by The Art of Cruelty by Maggie Nelson, Sk\u00f6r considers how violence and care can coexist in a single action, and how the line between them rarely stays still.<\/p>\n

Rather than illustrating these ideas, the work creates a space where they can be felt, observed, and embodied – in the flicker between contact and withdrawal, between attention and discomfort.<\/p>\n
