Med andra ord rymmer vardagen, liksom dansen, en koreografi. Den innehåller anvisningar, rytmer och strukturer som kan läsas av och som styr hur vi rör oss genom rum, arbete och tanke. Utifrån detta närmar sig sommarens utställning relationen mellan kropp och system, mellan det levda och det förutbestämda, där rörelsen både producerar och förskjuter villkoren. I Anna Ådahls målningar Den programmerade kroppen möts läsbarhet och bild. Målningarna kan uppfattas som sakrala och gåtfulla, men genom en nyckel framträder ett system. Lästa nedifrån och upp visar de en kropp och dess rörelse, medan de uppifrån och ned kan läsas som ett “behavior tree”, det vill säga en kod som organiserar datorns handlingar. I Hicham Gardafs film rör sig försäljarna av blekmedel från Tangers utkanter in i stadens industriella miljöer. Dera slångsamma tempo och tunga bördor vittnar om kroppar formade av arbete och ekonomiska villkor, samtidigt som deras rop bryter igenom stadens brus. Här uppstår en rytm som bär spår av en annan tid och som står i kontrast till samtidens acceleration. Det mekaniska och det kroppsliga möts även i Stina Ehn och Oda Brekkes koreografi. Rörelser upprepas i cykler, i och ur synkronisering. De omprogrammeras genom tillfälliga möten och små avvikelser där detaljer spiller över sina ramar. Verket framförs i sin helhet endast en gång och blir sedan kvar som handskrivna instruktioner, ljud och betong. Tillsammans fungerar de både som dokumentation av en process och som en inbjudan till besökaren att närma sig rum och ytor genom sin egen närvaro.”– Elias Kautsky <img width="4933" height="3289" width_o="4933" height_o="3289" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e114f6af5da420c54569adcaff631ac9b3a7669d35a236e61cb9dcba7361af76/Vardagens_koreografi_13.jpg" data-mid="251773096" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e114f6af5da420c54569adcaff631ac9b3a7669d35a236e61cb9dcba7361af76/Vardagens_koreografi_13.jpg" /> <img width="7457" height="4971" width_o="7457" height_o="4971" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1044682d3f8000ade35796397d45f7c0bfce945e56f86f36020013d1c76e3a6f/Vardagens_koreografi_11.jpg" data-mid="251773094" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1044682d3f8000ade35796397d45f7c0bfce945e56f86f36020013d1c76e3a6f/Vardagens_koreografi_11.jpg" /><img width="6754" height="4503" width_o="6754" height_o="4503" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dc7d8c81676d43e25262a7257da23cf1648a5f079edab95316b8922fc3a6d483/Vardagens_koreografi_12.jpg" data-mid="251773095" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dc7d8c81676d43e25262a7257da23cf1648a5f079edab95316b8922fc3a6d483/Vardagens_koreografi_12.jpg" /> <img width="7778" height="5185" width_o="7778" height_o="5185" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d7c7f852b11d062487e61038df572db5b28a973328fbacd019804848f6095093/Vardagens_koreografi_10.jpg" data-mid="251773093" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d7c7f852b11d062487e61038df572db5b28a973328fbacd019804848f6095093/Vardagens_koreografi_10.jpg" /> Photo: Sissela JenssenChoreography Stina Ehn and Oda Brekke Performers Oda Brekke, Ottavia Catenacci, Ewemande Ehiwe, Stina Ehn, Lisa Schåman, Sunniva Vikør EgenesMusic Saga FagerströmCostume Elise Nohr Administration Interim kultur -an employment cooperative owned by artists Supported by Nordisk Kulturfond, Nordisk kulturkontakt, Konstnärsnämndens internationella dansprogram, Region Stockholm https://odabrekke.com/Soft-Machines-du-star-utanfor-med-en-penna Mon, 31 Aug 2026 14:31:02 +0000 odabrekke.com https://odabrekke.com/Soft-Machines-du-star-utanfor-med-en-penna Soft Machines / du står utanför med en penna Soft Machines / du står utanför med en penna is a choreographic work consisting of cyclical dance phrases in which sensitive gestures and interactive expressions have been detached from their initial context. The work juxtaposes the mechanic with the sensuous in an exploration of the tenderness and violence in sharing a form. Six dancers are stuck in an already given structure that duplicates and repeats itself. Nothing really develops, but the choreography is not sealed. Outside leaks in and the other way around. Details spill over as what is already determined gets exposed to meetings that are random and incalculable. Stina Ehn and Oda Brekke’s choreographic collaboration departs from a set of methodical procedures where dancing and writing closes in on the relationship between body and place. They are interested in how social and architectural structures are embodied and shape meetings with other people. The music in the piece is a new composition by Saga Fagerström that takes off from the same choreographic method as used on the dance material. <img width="7999" height="5338" width_o="7999" height_o="5338" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5fdf01b3fc8498d0c48cc05524cb9710e411e98493bc81d0d6b1034dd162c9c5/Group-.jpeg" data-mid="251770373" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5fdf01b3fc8498d0c48cc05524cb9710e411e98493bc81d0d6b1034dd162c9c5/Group-.jpeg" /> <img width="7794" height="5201" width_o="7794" height_o="5201" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a9d27ad8832e4358085207f6e62321b4f5ba0ab93d6d861ff7278006499ba4f2/stina-och-sunni.jpeg" data-mid="251772788" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a9d27ad8832e4358085207f6e62321b4f5ba0ab93d6d861ff7278006499ba4f2/stina-och-sunni.jpeg" />Photo: Emma AnellChoreography Stina Ehn and Oda Brekke Dance Oda Brekke, Ottavia Catenacci, Ewemande Ehiwe, Stina Ehn, Elise Nohr, Lisa Schåman, Sunniva Vikør Egenes, Adriano Wilfert Jensen Performed by Oda Brekke, Ottavia Catenacci, Ewemande Ehiwe, Stina Ehn, Lisa Schåman, Sunniva Vikør EgenesMusic Saga FagerströmCostume Elise NohrLight Jonathan WinboDramaturgical advice Adriano Wilfert Jensen Administration Interim kultur -an employment cooperative owned by artists Premiere 23- 24 May 2026 Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus Other presentations 28 May 2026 Haninge Konsthall, opening of the exhibition Vardagens Koreografi curated by Elias Kautsky ResidenciesBergen Kunsthall Live StudioBergen Dansesenter -Kompetansesenter for dans i Vestland ccapDanscentrum Syd,höjden studios, PAF -Performing Arts ForumMDT -Moderna dansteaternSITEStällbergs gruva Supported by Nordisk Kulturfond, Nordisk kulturkontakt, Konstnärsnämndens internationella dansprogram, Region Stockholm <img width="7061" height="4712" width_o="7061" height_o="4712" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d868aa86e0d6050fed63e0cf0a5fc6f5e91426f35ad3c2653df34f7a4b30267c/lisa-och-oda.jpeg" data-mid="251772786" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d868aa86e0d6050fed63e0cf0a5fc6f5e91426f35ad3c2653df34f7a4b30267c/lisa-och-oda.jpeg" /><img width="7562" height="5046" width_o="7562" height_o="5046" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/27a8c8184f91b34dccac70076bce552cf1460b65fab2416c93cc708f8e50e691/ewes-och-ottavia.jpeg" data-mid="251772785" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/27a8c8184f91b34dccac70076bce552cf1460b65fab2416c93cc708f8e50e691/ewes-och-ottavia.jpeg" /><img width="8368" height="5584" width_o="8368" height_o="5584" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a488b2444b7a2e4480149b4d71f11ec0c1301222f7057627240bb6465064f225/lisa-och-stina.jpeg" data-mid="251772787" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a488b2444b7a2e4480149b4d71f11ec0c1301222f7057627240bb6465064f225/lisa-och-stina.jpeg" /> https://odabrekke.com/dead-dead-document Tue, 18 Jan 2022 19:02:13 +0000 odabrekke.com https://odabrekke.com/dead-dead-document dead dead document dead dead document gathers together dance, text and sound, all of which carry memories from a process fragmented between differing times and places.

It evokes both the sense of the most concrete and graspable; what is actually here, what can be seen, touched and pointed at. At the same time surface brings to mind superficiality and appearance– a fasade stripped from solid structure and deep meaning. The dance material is generated through a surface logic; a continuous movement and effort of emptying things out. The performance invites us along textures and marks through sonorous, visual and tactile perception. It produces a room where digital sound, textile and dance relate through their specific materiality and where their memories can be attended to in ever closer proximity. <img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f1e17d6e5cbbe762cf531efcfc74f4d01829d984376da54d769ace244700c999/P1032741.JPG" data-mid="191778354" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f1e17d6e5cbbe762cf531efcfc74f4d01829d984376da54d769ace244700c999/P1032741.JPG" />Photo by Vetle Fortun Concept and choreography: Oda Brekke Dance: Maia Means, Lisa Schåman,&nbsp;Sunniva Vikør Egenes and Oda Brekke&nbsp; Sound: Hara Alonso Textile and objects: Mathilde Sundfjord Sæthre Dramaturgical advice: Karina Sarkissova Administration: Artist cooperative Interim kultur Special thanks to Stina Ehn and Jack Ohlsson Premiere: Weld, Stockholm 26th August 2021On tour28.04.2022 höjden studios, Stockholm, Sweden 04.05.2022 Bergen Kjøtt, Bergen, Norway 22.09.2022 Zagreb National Museum of Contemporary Art,&nbsp;IMPROSPEKCIJE&nbsp; festival curated by Antisezona, Croatia 09.11.2022 DANCE COOPERATIVE,Performance Night #2 curated by Paolo de Venecia Gile, Copenhagen, Denmark Residencies 16-25.08.2021 Weld (Stockholm, Sweden03-15.07.2021 höjden (Stockholm, Sweden)03-09.05.2021 Danscentrum Väst (Gothenburg, Sweden) 06-16.04.2021 Dansplats Skog (Gävleborg, Sweden) 08-19.03.2021 Konstepidemin (Gothenburg, Sweden) Supported by Weld, The Swedish Arts Council, Swedish Arts Grant Committee and the Nordic Culture Fund. <img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/282b6c72fa5eab759fde6f24a864f45cedafd3dd567d3dc6de1d22de24122a5c/P1032812.JPG" data-mid="191778355" border="0" data-scale="48" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/282b6c72fa5eab759fde6f24a864f45cedafd3dd567d3dc6de1d22de24122a5c/P1032812.JPG" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b231ad4697a99717de4b5a444e00723cf7386546619d4792f3d2ab6fd53b03f/P1032832.JPG" data-mid="191778356" border="0" data-scale="48" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b231ad4697a99717de4b5a444e00723cf7386546619d4792f3d2ab6fd53b03f/P1032832.JPG" />Photos by Vetle ForthunReview by Thomas Ohlsson, Svenska Dagbladet https://odabrekke.com/Cut-a-choreo-essay Tue, 25 Jan 2022 18:25:40 +0000 odabrekke.com https://odabrekke.com/Cut-a-choreo-essay Cut: a choreo-essay&nbsp; &nbsp;This performance is an attempt to think out loud about my work in public.&nbsp;At times the score is to describe the task itself as I am performing it, at times I aim to ponder upon themes related to the work that I am interested in such as documentation of dance and its place in the archive, the notion of leftovers, the horror of abjection and photography as a medium without anticipation. <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0dc676590454eb1c9c9547b4d8d701e827dc71971044e47f2b9d78aa422c94bf/IMG_5480.JPG" data-mid="191776879" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0dc676590454eb1c9c9547b4d8d701e827dc71971044e47f2b9d78aa422c94bf/IMG_5480.JPG" />Photo by Leah Landau By and with: Oda Brekke Many thanks to my collaborators Lisa Schåman and Tuuli Vahtola.

Each of them offers a sense of its own; a particular universe of figures, rhythms, and steps.Pocket phrases asks what happens to a form when it is doubled, repeated and reoriented.Pocket phrases takes place outdoors in a place where the public seeps in. It needs a frame, but does not have a ceiling.Pocket phrases lets the softness of skin and tissues meet the hardness of asphalt and stone. It invites people to come closer to a place and to spend time with details.Pocket phrases is a project that continues, a collaborative study of what comes out of dance when it gets a determined form without aiming at determined meaning or sense. <img width="3072" height="4608" width_o="3072" height_o="4608" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5929445279077a3406169e3dcc11034cbdbb712dd4658755a862753fbbe51be8/-Pocket-phrases--cover-photo.JPG" data-mid="132127805" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5929445279077a3406169e3dcc11034cbdbb712dd4658755a862753fbbe51be8/-Pocket-phrases--cover-photo.JPG" /> Photo by Olle Ehn Hillberg Residencies13-19.09.2021 Kunsthuset Wrap (Bergen, Norway)Performances26.03.2022 Danserom, Marinehallen, Bergen Norway&nbsp; (performed by Oda Brekke and Tuuli Vahtola) 24-25.09.2021 Dance cooperative Copenhage, Denmark Supported by Slots og kulturstyrelsen (Denmark) <img width="4608" height="3072" width_o="4608" height_o="3072" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5c187c641e7b0286d1ec0841625c422425e50f8e62b2cd9a3979f7c20fc1073a/Pocket-phrases-page-photo.jpg" data-mid="132128537" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5c187c641e7b0286d1ec0841625c422425e50f8e62b2cd9a3979f7c20fc1073a/Pocket-phrases-page-photo.jpg" />Photo by Olle Ehn Hillberg <img width="828" height="1104" width_o="828" height_o="1104" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/97bef216d1c8bf33579d4caa15f52157e66b8d3eb41c55049f74351d5cb85e10/1.jpeg" data-mid="138385935" border="0" data-scale="46" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/828/i/97bef216d1c8bf33579d4caa15f52157e66b8d3eb41c55049f74351d5cb85e10/1.jpeg" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img width="828" height="1104" width_o="828" height_o="1104" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/235bc1efc2ba90429116979bcdc94d6c4639c760707c4d532d0da99696efd6b0/7.jpeg" data-mid="138385937" border="0" data-scale="46" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/828/i/235bc1efc2ba90429116979bcdc94d6c4639c760707c4d532d0da99696efd6b0/7.jpeg" /> Photo: Inga Haveland Mannsåker https://odabrekke.com/Art-as-Practice-Art-as-Object Tue, 18 Jan 2022 19:16:08 +0000 odabrekke.com https://odabrekke.com/Art-as-Practice-Art-as-Object Art as Practice | Art as Object by PIM (Para institutional model) Para Institutional Models poses questions around what the public is and what is included in the notion of the public sphere. What kind of work, performance, communication, thing, act, text, or speech has the potential of publicly manifesting itself and thus offering itself to a public negotiation? These questions unfold a discussion around the relationality between /art works/ and /artistic process/ between /art as object/ and /art as practice/ and their respective capacities for common negotiation and manifestation. ‘Art as Practice|Art as object’ features a collection of discussions and interviews between the PIM group, artists, and arts organisations. Is the purpose of an institution fulfilled only when its practice, at some point and in some way, manifests in the public realm? It includes essays by Manon Santkin and Nina Möntmann, and a short story by Francis McKee. <img width="1546" height="3127" width_o="1546" height_o="3127" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44e7a2197ab78a416a1deb77e818915dca1e6563542c597455f3bbfa2a58da8e/art-as-practice...jpg" data-mid="132129475" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44e7a2197ab78a416a1deb77e818915dca1e6563542c597455f3bbfa2a58da8e/art-as-practice...jpg" /> Contributions by Emilia Gasiorek, Oda Brekke, Manon Santkin, Maia Means, Sara Parkman, Carl-Oscar Sjögren, Veronica Thorseth, Leo Preston, Johan Forsman, Nina Möntmann, Francis McKee, Anders Paulin, Maryam Fanni, Thomas Paltiel, Goro Tronsmo, and Kim West.
