PREVIOUS work: “alia”
ALIA names this work of performing arts, which is rooted in our time. A multi-layered word originating in many different languages. The word has meanings such as supreme spirit, to unite and to change / transform. Its meaning is repeated in the work's portrayal of how contemporary behavioral structures, accepted human passivity and drastic changes in both society and the environment result in the choreographers' key words ‘DNA distortion’. This is all reflected in intense dancing signed by the physically challenging style typical of the choreographers. An experimental fusion where you find movement qualities of different street elements together with the free modern art form, and with a raw stage language that together forms beautiful scenarios where we get to follow the development of human fate.

Mia Hellberg & Marco Wihlborg
Mia Hellberg och Marco Wihlborg. Vi är båda två från Göteborg och har många år av arbete ihop med danskompaniet Twisted Feet. Idag är vår bas såväl i Göteborg som Stockholm där vi utgår som frilansande dansare och koreografer. Vi fann varandra i ett gemensamt intresse för utforskandet av rörelsemönster och scenspråk från olika tekniker och konstformer, där vi någonstans dragits åt samma håll. Vårt verk och artisteri präglas idag av just fusion, där mycket floor work ihop med den moderna dansens språk möter vår bakgrund i hip hop och de olika elementen inom streetstyles. Ofta är det högt tempo, ett berättande samt musikalisk precision och timing som styr det fysiska uttrycket. Vi trivs i kontraster och inspireras av samtida tematik såväl som fiktion.

Mia Hellberg and Marco Wihlborg. We are both from Gothenburg and have had many years of work together with the dance company Twisted Feet. Today, our base is both in Gothenburg and Stockholm, where we act as freelance dancers and choreographers. We found each other in a common interest of researching movement patterns and stage language from different techniques and art forms, where we were somehow drawn in the same direction. Today, our work and artistry is characterized by fusion, where a lot of floor work combined with the language of modern dance meets our background in hip hop and the various elements within street styles. There’s often high tempo, a narrative and musical precision and timing that govern our physical expression. We thrive in contrasts and are inspired by contemporary themes as well as fiction.
