Shai Faran DESCRIPTION:Can You Feel It? is a dynamic\, pop\, funky\, and abstract meet ing between dance\, music and audience. In this piece\, dance takes center stage inside of a concert. Things are what there are\, also not and also more. This work does not want to define or represent things\, it is about activating and engaging with them\, allowing something new to emerge from the encounter and create resonances that are greater than the sum of its p arts\, 1+1=3.\n\nIt's a dance encounter that has the potential to open up resonant relationships between performer\, audience\, dance\, music\, you\ , me\, us\, here\, and now. It wants to activate and rediscover our senses and call us back to the body.\n\nIn this work\, I focus on paying attenti on\, listening\, and being in conversation with others and the environment through dancing. I am interested in how dancing transforms a space\, heig htens awareness of the room and the time spent within it\, and how it shap es my attention. This allows me to become a conscious instrumentalist and composer with the dancing. This makes it possible for me to be in dialogue with space\, music\, and audience.\n\nFor me\, being in dialogue with di fferent elements and listening to what is already present holds significa nt potential. By engaging with the in-between spaces\, where things meet a nd interact\, I can listen to the resonances that emerge from these encoun ters. This process helps me to be in the moment\, both guiding from the ba ck seat and being taken for a ride. It allows me to step away from an inte llectualized approach and instead engage with the experience through sensa tion\, feeling what it does rather than what it means or wants.\n\n\n\nCon cept and Choreography: Vincent Jonsson\nOn stage: Vincent Jonsson\, with g uest artists Shai Faran (17/5) and Liz Kinoshita (18/5)\nSupervision: Bjö rn Säfsten\nOutside Eye: Rebecka Berchtold\nLogo Design: Linéa Alfredsso n\nThanks to: Weld\, SKH\, DansPlats Skog\, Lake Studios\, Riikka Lakea an d everyone that has spend\ntime in the studio with me.\n\n\n\nVINCENT JONS SON\nVincent Jonsson\, a Swedish dance artist based in Stockholm and Copen hagen.

You are welcome to pa rticipate\, witness\, watch\, listen\, share\, and sometimes intimately en gage with these artists’ curiosities and performative explorations in ve nues throughout Stockholm 6–18 May 2025.\n\nIn the presentation each of the thirteen artists proposes a specific way of inhabiting and unveiling t he artistic practice with which they are currently engaged. In these encou nters\, audiences can expect a wide range of approaches to sharing their p ractice through formats spanning from staged to non staged performances\, performance installations\, participatory performances\, publishing or oth er objects and situations as sites for performative investigations.\n\nStu dents on the MA program New Performative Practices are experienced practit ioners from different fields. In their education at SKH Dance\, these perf orming artists are given the context and support to delve into their own h istories\, refine and develop their research methods and shape sustainable approaches to support ongoing practices in their chosen field of art. The program is research preparatory\, qualifying the student for a Master's d egree in Choreography with a focus on performative practices.\n\nWeld is o ne of this year's hosts and here you will meet Anna Biczok\, Zhana Penchev a\, Anna Apergi\, Vincent Jonsson and Martin Sieweke.\n\nSee full program at uniarts.se ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://book.weld.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/ Vincent-Can-you-feel-it_-cover-photo-wide-photo-scaled.jpg LOCATION:Weld\, Norrtullsgatan 7\, Stockholm\, Sverige X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Norrtullsgatan 7\, Stockhol m\, Sverige;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Weld:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Stockholm X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Stockholm BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250330T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 TZNAME:CEST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
