Jefta van Dinther<\/strong>\u00a0(SE\/DE) er koreograf og danser. Arbeidene hans kjennetegnes av en streng fysisk tiln\u00e6rming som utgangspunkt, og inneb\u00e6rer alltid en iscenesatt grunnleggende unders\u00f8kelse av bevegelse. Den bevegelige kroppen er derfor kjernen i hans praksis, men den relaterer og samhandler med lys, lyd og ulike typer materialer. Sentralt i arbeidet hans st\u00e5r sp\u00f8rsm\u00e5let om hva det vil si \u00e5 v\u00e6re menneske, sett i relasjon til \u00a0samfunn, fellesskap og milj\u00f8, men ogs\u00e5 til andre livsformer som dyr og andre ikke-menneskelige vesener. Jefta van Dinthers forestillinger strekker seg inn i metafysiske eller utenomjordiske sf\u00e6rer, og tar for seg forestillinger om illusjon, det synlige og det usynlige, hvordan sansene p\u00e5virker oss, m\u00f8rke, arbeid, sex, det uhyggelige, affekt, stemme og bilde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I august 2024 hadde Van Dinther premiere p\u00e5 forestillingen AUSLAND<\/em> under Tanz im August p\u00e5 Kraftwerk i Berlin. I september 2023 hadde forestillingen REMACHINE<\/em> premiere p\u00e5 Norrlandsoperan Ume\u00e5. I 2022 hadde hans forestilling Unearth<\/em> premiere p\u00e5 festivalen Tanz im August i Berlin. Alle disse verkene er for tiden p\u00e5 turn\u00e9. For tiden er ogs\u00e5 Dark Field Analysis<\/em> (2017) og GRIND<\/em> (2011) p\u00e5 turn\u00e9. Blant hans \u00f8vrige verk kan disse nevnes: diptyken On Earth I’m Done: Mountain<\/em>s (2021) og Islands<\/em> (2022) for Cullberg, Plateau Effect<\/em> (2019) for Staatsballett Berlin, The Quiet<\/em> (2019), Protagonist<\/em> (2016) for Cullberg Ballett, As It Empties Out<\/em> (2014), Plateau Effect <\/em>for Cullberg Ballet (2013), THIS IS CONCRETE<\/em> (2012), The Blanket Dance<\/em> (2011), Kneeding<\/em> (2010), The Way Things Go<\/em> (2009) og IT’S IN THE AIR <\/em>(2008). Jefta van Dinther har ogs\u00e5 laget koreografien til og danser i musikkvideoen Monument<\/em> (2015) av Robyn & R\u00f6yksopp, og han har ogs\u00e5 organisert og kuratert festivalen LIAISON (2015) i Stockholm.

Biografi p\u00e5 engelsk:<\/strong>
Jefta van Dinther<\/strong>\u00a0(SE\/DE) is a choreographer and dancer. His work is characterized by a rigorous physical approach and always implies a staged research of movement itself. The moving body is the core of his practice but belongs to and interacts with a body of light, sound and materials. Central in his work is the question of what it means to be human, examined through its relation to society, community and environment but also to other forms of life such as the animal and other non-human entities. Jefta’s performances reach out into metaphysical or otherworldly realms and deal with notions of illusion, the visible and the invisible, synaesthesia, darkness, labour, sex, the uncanny, affect, voice and image.

In August 2024 Van Dinther premiered the performance AUSLAND during Tanz im August at Kraftwerk, Berlin. In September 2023, the performance REMACHINE had its premiere at Norrlandsoperan Ume\u00e5. In 2022, his durational performance Unearth premiered at the festival Tanz im August in Berlin. All of these works are currently on tour. Currently on tour are also Dark Field Analysis (2017), as well as GRIND (2011). His other works include the diptych On Earth I’m Done: Mountains (2021) and Islands (2022) for Cullberg, Plateau Effect (2019) for Staatsballett Berlin, The Quiet (2019), Protagonist (2016) for Cullberg Ballet, As It Empties Out (2014), Plateau Effect for Cullberg Ballet (2013), THIS IS CONCRETE (2012), The Blanket Dance (2011), Kneeding (2010), The Way Things Go (2009) and IT’S IN THE AIR (2008).\u00a0Jefta van Dinther has also created the choreography for and dances in the the music-video Monument (2015) by Robyn & R\u00f6yksopp and has also organised and curated the festival LIAISON (2015) in Stockholm.\u00a0Jefta was Associated Artist with Cullberg between 2019-2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
