‘Move me’
A dance performance specially made for the European Environment Agency 25^th anniversary (19 June 2019).
Created and performed by Pil Josephine Nielsen – dancer, performer and visual artist (DK) – and Carlos Romão – nature expert from EEA, amateur dancer and performer (PT).
Inspired by
– the speech of the young student Greta Thunberg at the climate conference in Katovice,
– the launch of the TV series ‘Our Planet’ by Sir David Attenborough at the Natural History Museum of London,
– the cycles of life on Earth (night-dusk-day), the flight of the Golden oriole, hope, despair, crisis, urgency
– Japanese Butoh and contact improvisation dance forms.
‘Nature once determined how we survive. Now WE determine how nature survives!’ – D. Attenborough

Forum Humanum – Kitt Johson
In 2013 I had the honour and pleasure of being one of the 39 extras of Kitt Johnson’s piece ‘Forum Humanum’
https://www.kittjohnson.dk/english/forum-humanum
‘FORUM HUMANUM is a mass performance with 52 bodies on stage (13 professional dancers and 39 extras)…’
We act in large numbers and crowds, alone or separately. We step into and out of the Human Sea. Swallowed up and whirled around, we manoeuvre ourselves back into the friction between them, us and I. We group ourselves into clans and clubs, nations and networks, before we let ourselves get swallowed up again. Meanwhile, we pursue our needs dictated by drives. If satisfaction is obstructed, the choice is between aggression, sublimation or repression. The codex of the crowd against the demands of biology.
– Kitt Johnson

Folkets All Out Choir – Boaz Barkan & Jørgen Teller
https://www.boazbarkan.com/performance-new/folkts-all-out-choir.html
April to August 2018, Copenhagen, DK
The People’s All Out Choir is a performance of 8 performers. The ensemble consists of individuals with different backgrounds, age and ethnicity. Together, they create a thoughtful performance that reflects our society.
I’ve developed a character starting with the serious business man, the grotesc business man, the nature lover and ending as the nature destroyer.

May I Speak About Dance – Boaz Barkan
June 2017, Warehouse9. Copenhagen, DK
Boaz invited me to participate in this performance where he comments along the way, getting tangled in various concepts such as non-dance, Basho and somatic practices. He meddles in the approaches of iconic figures in contemporary dance such as Yvonne Rainer, Tatsumi Hijikata and Jerome Bel. I was dancing on.
