Daily Training Classes with Destiny Af Kleen


  • Danscentrum Väst 3 Ärlegatan Göteborg, Västra Götalands län, 414 53 Sweden (map)

DESTINY’s work and projects are grounded in social care, a genuine interest in her audience (and people in general), and operate from an activist and political standpoint. Using ”place” as a starting point, Destiny has worked on several participant-based projects that address the shared public space. In her work with DansPlats Skog (an artist-driven production space and dance stage), she reflects extensively on the concepts of place development and Urban Norm. Over the past few years, she has created a series of installations and site-specific works that tour in Gävleborg County, danced with horses, built dance floors in the forests of Hälsingland, planted 40 trees for consolation, and created and patented two hugging machines.

IN CLASS, I will share methods and impulses from my artistic practice as a choreographer, dancer, and artistic director of DansPlats Skog. My work explores the relationship between the senses, movement, rhythm, and social structures — with a focus on collective processes, bodily memory, and the creation of alternative spaces. Together, we will engage in practical explorations that involve somatic movement, rhythm-based tasks, and spatial awareness. I am interested in how we can use the body to sense, listen, and respond — to each other, to place, and to imagined realities. The workshop will include collaborative tasks, improvisation, and exercises that invite participants to create short performative proposals individually or in groups. Participants are invited to bring their own experiences and questions into the space. No specific background in dance is required — just a willingness to move, listen, and explore collectively.
