Over the last five years I have been investigating the phenomenon of movement sonification and different types of interaction ongoing within the experience. I have expanded my knowledge and skills in the fields of music, musical performance, dance, music theory, music technology, acoustics, physics, as well as cognitive and computer sciences.  This paper introduces the reader to an extraordinarily broad subject of movement sonification, namely how to create, participate in and understand the phenomenon, with special emphasis on the human perception and proprioception system. Particular attention is also paid to technological issues, presented and described using the example of IMU technology.  The thesis presents also my point of view on direct and indirect interaction through examples of my previous compositions, as well as works created by other artists. The two last chapters are devoted to practical aspects – experiences and observations made from different perspectives – a composer’s, creator’s, performer’s and spectator’s. Based on my latest interactive work Hypercycle I discuss my way of creating an interactive situation, the process of using all possible elements to make the work engaging, yet not overwhelming or overstimulating. / <p>The documentation also includes the following recordings: Hypercycle (2021) – documentation – visual instructions.mp4; Hypercycle (2021) – documentation – binaural.mp4; Hypercycle (2021) - exhibition (frag.).mov</p>

// F - E- G // // F - E- G // is the title of my independent degree project, for the Master program New Performative Practices at Stockholm University of the Arts. The project was intended as a means for  presenting and understanding my artistic practice and its various aspects. It was a public presentation in the university’s theatre hall. The format chosen was a 50 minute solo performance with a 10 minute participatory section at the beginning of the show. I was the performer, as well as the music and recordings' editor, text writer, and project coordinator in collaboration with SKH's producer and staff. My aim with the project was to fit together the various themes and practices that I had been exploring during the two years of the course: a somatic sci-fi based practice, clown technique, the use of voice, the relationship of the performer to the audience, finding honesty and repeatability in performance, the use of chance and randomness in creation and performing, the use of language in guiding others toward physical and personal insights and experiences, what kind of social impact performance art can have, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as a choice of life and, finally,  reconnecting to my ageing dancing body. I call the method chosen to explore these various interests and curiosities a personal-experiential method: the ideas were tried out physically and concretely, over a span of time that allowed for reflection and introspection. The outcome of the project was rich in personal learnings and challenges, as well as a milestone in my development as an artist and a person. I hope it served as a moment of poetry and enjoyment to those who visited and participated in the performances: that they might recognise themselves in similar situations and feelings and that they might be either relieved or comforted or somehow get the chance to witness their experience through the dramaturgy of the performance.

Firstly, in 2019, I played a role of a woman who got married to a married man, later after the series aired to the public the role fired back on me. I observed the audience’s reaction exceeded everyone's expectations. The audience is divided into two parts the first part is the women who expressed their anger in a very aggressive and strong way, and the second part who was exciting to the character. The first part of the audience used several offensive, strong, and insulting words. The audience's reaction was very emotional, and they used all the tools to express their feelings for example, they used social media platforms and verbal violence when they saw me in the street. On the other hand, sometimes the women’s reaction was interesting in my point of view when one of the women personalized the role by imagining her husband betrayed her with the character for real. Secondly, in 2021 an actress from Egypt Mona Zaki pretends to take off her panty in a scene in the film. Although she didn’t take it off, she chose to symbolize the action, the scene fired back badly on her and her personal life as well. The audience couldn't compartmentalize between the acting and her personal life and personality. Therefore, we focus on the audience impact and the way the audience impacts the actress in the situated areas in this research, what would happen when the audience can't distinguish between the role and the actor's real Character?

This essay is about theater for the youngest audience 0–6 years. The aim is to highlight the actor's role in the encounter with the small child and the question I am investigating is: How has my work creating and performing theater for young children over many years influenced and shaped me as an actor? I put into words many years of research into performing arts for children and I also practically investigate my question in a performance for adults - fake or fur. With my essay, I want to clarify the knowledge required to be able to meet a child who may be visiting a theater for the first time. What does it mean for an actor to play for young children? What is acting for the youngest audience and what are the creative processes like? I describe the specifics of theater for the youngest partly through reflection and narration of mainly three productions, Clothes off Clothes on (2-4 years), Bubbla and Bo both for an audience of babies 6-12 months and their adults. Long preparatory work and the necessity of a reference audience are described here. There are several stories about various audience meetings over the years. The second part of my essay describes my work with the scenic part of my master's project. I examine theme, form and appeal to an adult audience in order to find clear differences in acting for children and for adults. With my story, I want to highlight the specific skills required for an artistic dialogue with the youngest audience where the actor, in addition to his role in the performance, must be able to guide the children into a theatrical ritual. Going to the theater. It requires a special interest and perseverance, as well as being aware of one's responsibility both for the children and acknowledging one's own memory of being a child. A kind of ”soft” acting that can be quickly adapted to today's audience. It takes sensitivity, courage and a willingness to learn the language of the children's world.

This is a study on embodied rhythm and how it can be formulated and made into concepts. The study also focuses on how didactic resources are used in relation to embodied rhythm in jazz dance teaching. The work with this study took its starting point in the strong physical experience of dancing jazz dance and the problems in being able to talk about the rhythmical aspects of that experience in didactic contexts. Through studies of rhythm within many different fields a base of knowledge was created. Some examples of the different fields are music theory, cultural history, psychology, didactics, socio cultural theories as well as in dance theory. The knowledge base was used to develop concept that relates to embodied rhythm and didactic resources used in relation to that. The concepts were applied in observations of jazz dance classes and the usefulness and relevance of the concepts were tested. The study presents the concepts as a tool for discussions on embodied rhythm, for working with rhythm as part of dance teaching, for development of dance didactics and as a way to make the strong physical and rhythmical experience of dancing jazz a bit easier to address verbally.

This is an artistic thesis on sound design for the performing arts.

This work examines the direct effect of yoga on the singing voice. Is it possible to notice a difference in the voice right after a yoga session? I put together a method to test this by singing right before and right after practicing yoga and thoroughly documenting this in writing and by recording. I was amazed by the difference that could be noticed in my voice after yoga. Not only did it help to release tension but I also consistently experienced more freedom and better high notes after my workouts. During this study I became more certain of how important my yoga practice is going to be for my career.

In the early stages, my team discussed the working method we want to implement in our final project in performing arts, which we described as follows: Through a co-creative process with an equal focus on all components, we aim to create a performance that flows with images and multilingualism, where various aesthetics and expressions collide and juxtapose.  In my thesis, I explore how we relate to our working method through different tools, including those from leadership studies. This paper details how we define our working method within a co-creative process and examines how decision-making has been structured and has influenced our artistic process. With great hope, I see how my research can contribute to collective work within artistic practices and which useful methods can be used.

This work examines the laboration of an opera scene performed from three different perspectives and distances. With my own experience of learning acting from two different schools I have in this project developed a method through observing the different feelings and experiences when acting for three different viewpoints. One being as close as a movie camera would be, the second resembling a smaller hall and the third resembling a bigger theater. The purpose and hope for this project would be to connect the similarities and differences in each take and work toward creating honest acting in every form and size one might be asked to perform. Not only did I observe the different impulses and instincts created in me within each take but I also discovered that this could become a method I will use in the future as it brought me closer to my character by going from ”small” to big” in a methodical way.

This work is a discussion between myself and a couple of different professionals in the opera industry about stage fright, the importance of preparing and the positives and negative with preparing in different ways. The essay explains the different types of auditions with focus on auditions for scholarships and how to adapt to the statutes of the scholarship without losing your artistry. It ends with a recollection of my five latest large auditions, how they went and my reflections on the result versus my preparations. They also conclude how I can work specifically moving forward since the results were vastly different with the different levels of preparation.
