MARAN
(Live Performance)
Maran is a dance work inspired by hairography—movement where hair extends the body and becomes a central expressive tool—combined with the mythology of Maran.
In Nordic folklore, Maran is a female figure who visits sleepers at night, causing nightmares. She is both feared and vulnerable, embodying the forbidden, the untamed, and the physical aspects of feminine expression.
In this work, Maran becomes a symbol of inner pressure taking physical form, where desire, anxiety, and resistance turn into movement. Hair, historically charged with ideas of femininity, sensuality, and control, is used as an active dance element, shifting from something passive to a driving force in expression.

Mensdansen
(Live performance)
Through dance, rhythm, and movement, we explore the phases of the menstrual cycle, aiming to open up conversations about menstruation and wellbeing. The performance is for everyone, regardless of gender, and blends humor, emotion, and expressive dance.
Designed for schools/classrooms, it works both as a stage performance and a starting point for dialogue on inclusion, identity, and wellbeing.
A workshop can be added, giving students the chance to physically explore and reflect on their experience of the performance.
