Konstskapande med kroppen som biografi. Att navigera mellan det okända och det välkända

Abstract

»Making art with the body as biography. Navigating between the unknown and the well-known«

In this article I seek to describe how to use performativity and acting skills in order to get in touch with and articulate once owns life-experiences beyond the explicit and well known. The question is how I, by physical and vocal practice, can approach fragments of my silent past and capture some of its emotional and existential meanings in order to share it with an audience. I highlight the necessity to articulate these silent experiences and make them part of a public discourse. I reason about my autobiographical position, what parts of reality I choose for the story and what fiction has to do with it.
