In the exhibition Edvard Munch Monumental on floor 6 we offer a sensory art experience for the little ones. They get to meet two dancers who twist and turn, fall and crawl. Sometimes they dance softly and slowly, at other times they’re rushing around at full speed.

The performance choreographed by Ingri Fiksdal is based on kinesthetic empathy and the idea that moving can be «contagious»: We can sense other people’s movements in our own body thanks to the mirror neurons in our brain. Mirror neurons play a central role when babies and children learn interaction and movement by copying their parents and other caretakers.

Ingri Fiksdal (1982) is a choreographer based in Oslo. In 2019 she finished a PhD in artistic research at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, with the project Affective Choreographies. This research took shape as six performances and three books. Ingri´s work on affect has in recent years taken her into discourses on perspective and privilege. She is currently working on a numbers of projects addressing the intersection between the post-anthropocentric and the decolonial from a feminist perspective. Ingri is concerned with how practise and theory are entangled in her work in a way where neither is perceived as anterior to the other.
