one is not born a women

Performer: My Nilsson
Costume: Petruska Miehe-Renard
Birdswalk was founded by Lisa Bregneager and Kim Wrang Henriksen
One Is Not Born a Woman is an installation that once a day is activated as a performance. The relationship between the static and changing piece is staged through the body, interacting with mediated versions of the same body. The piece examines through repetition and displacement how repetitive patterns of behavior over time shapes and displace our gender and how these structures are built up and dismantled over time.

Kunsten i kroppen
created by My Marie Nilsson & Sanna Blennow
in collaboration with Statens Museum for Kunst
Supported by Statens Kunstfond and Københavns Scenekunstudvalg

Kunsten i kroppen is a dance experience for children from 4th to 6th grade. As participants, they are both the audience and the performers, and through dance, they have the opportunity to experience how art and the body merge. The format is an educational course where two dancers guide the participants through the exhibitions at the National Gallery of Denmark (Statens Museum for Kunst). The focus is on how the participants experience art through their own and each other's bodies, and from there, how they can create dance and choreography in synergy with the museum's exhibitions. It is a way to open up art through the body and use dance and movement to understand and discuss art.
The exhibition space is put into play and movement. By surrendering their bodies to this active and shared reality, a surprising transformation occurs: the art in the museum suddenly becomes an art we feel we know. The art is ours, and it concerns us all.

Månen by MYKA
Guided by two dancers, children and adults explore a poetic, sensuous and safe space where we wonder about the magical universe and atmosphere of the moon. The performance offers the possibility of listening, sensing and moving together, and everything is based on the children’s premises.
The children’s senses are wakened by dance, objects and music, and the performance offers space to each child’s sensing of the dancing and playing universe of ‘The Moon’. Children and adults are welcome to moving freely and exploring the space as we go along.
