From form to fumbling

Solveig Styve Holte is a dancer, choreographer, and researcher at the Department of Dance at the University of the Arts in Oslo. Frå Form til Famling is one of several results from her scholarship work that works to expand the understanding of authorship in dance and choreography, both how historical dance material can be used in new choreographic works and how the performers become active co-authors in the artistic processes. In close collaboration with other artists, she has worked on a number of projects, including HORDE (2021) in collaboration with Ingri Fiksdal, with youth from Old Oslo, which was created for the opening of the Munch Museum. Solveig Styve Holte lives in Folkestad in Møre og Romsdal where she works to develop YKS, a choreographic center in the existing farm estate where she lives.
