Revisiting Practice

Can you go on a journey on the inside of your body. Is it possible to take somebody with you

on that journey? You point at something very specific on the inside of your body and you

look at it together. Maybe your guest recognizes something. Can a small detail inside of you

point at something enormous, something that is limitless, something maybe eternal? What

is your shape right now? What does it mean…skin? What does it mean? Asking questions

together without trying to find something definite,  an answer, a solution or the way. Letting

questions vibrate in our bodies until they turn into movements… because you want to or

just for no particular reason at all. These explorations will be based on my experience with

Revisiting Nina’s Solo

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Nina Wollny studied modern and contemporary dance at the Rotterdam Dance Academy,

now Codarts, in the Netherlands. After her graduation in 2002 she joined the company

anoukvandijk dc and has worked there as dancer, rehearsal director and artistic assistant for

more than 10 years. Since 2012 Nina is working with different choreographers in Europe.

She is regularly performing and collaborating with German choreographer Jenny Beyer at

Kampnagel in Hamburg, Germany. In Norway she works with amongst others Mia Habib

Productions and BodyCartographyProject. She is based in Trondheim and is part of the

Praxis Trondheim team. Nina started teaching when she was 15 as a way to deepen her own

understanding of dance. In 2004 she became a Countertechnique teacher and later faculty

of their teacher training and program manager. Since 2020 Nina is not teaching

Countertechnique anymore and explores her own interests and methods to share

movement and dance. She is curious how our movement relates to the anatomy and

physiology of the human body and its relationship to the forces that move us- as an

inspiration to play, without looking for a definite solution.  Recently Nina has been drawn to

also start sharing her fascination of the human body in her own artistic and performative

work, which has led her to create the performance Revisiting Nina’s Solo.
