Key Speakers:
Camilla Damkjaer
The Questions of Gender in Circus
Camilla Damkjaer is a researcher in the field of dance and circus. In her Ph.D. thesis The Aesthetics of Movement –Variations on Gilles Deleuze and Merce Cunningham (2005) she addressed the meeting point between dance and philosophy with an interpretation of Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy and the choreography of Merce Cunningham. In her work she is crossing theory and practice, physicality and philosophy in order to challenge the assumptions of what dance and circus is and the kinds of knowledge they can produce. In one of her most recent project “Homemade Academic Circus” she is confronting academic and artistic research, through her own experience of passing from theory into circus practices.

Helene Frichot
Feminist Thinking in Architecture
Dr Hélène Frichot is an assistant professor in Critical Studies in Architecture, School of Architecture and the Built Environment, KTH, Stockholm. Her research examines the transdisciplinary field between architecture and philosophy (while her first discipline is architecture, she holds a PhD in philosophy from the University of Sydney, 2004). Hélène draws predominantly on the philosophical work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, alongside other poststructuralist as well as feminist thinkers, such as Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray, Michèle le Doeuff, and the legacy of these thinkers, as witnessed in the work of philosophers such as the Australian Elizabeth Grosz, and also the philosopher of science Isabelle Stengers. Her published research has ranged widely from commentary on the ethico-aesthetics of contemporary digital architecture operating within the new biotechnological paradigm, to the role of contemporary participatory and relational practices in the arts, including critical and creative spatial practices. She considers architecture writing to be her mode of research practice.

Settings-Rebecca Vinthagen and Lina Zavalia
Settings – Norm Creative Opportunities
Settings works for organizations, institutions, associations, artistic practitioners and educational bodies which want to develop the conditions for socially sustainable change. Within Settings we have coined the phrase norm creativity. With a basis within norm critic, norm creativity focuses on action and translates norm critical theory to creative practice. Our working methods are based on research and experience of how we manifest ourselves in relation to other people – and in particular how we present ourselves based on factors such as gender, sexuality and ethnicity. Settings challenge these rigid roles to claim power over our own bodies and to create new spaces and identities.
Settings create methods and lead norm creative processes in tailor-made constellations with, among others, the Swedish Women´s Lobby, Norrland opera, the Royal Academy of Music, Riksteatern, the City of Helsingborg and University College of Arts, Crafts and Design.
Settings is founded and run by Lina Zavalia and Rebecca Vinthagen.
