- **Event Name**: Chapter 1: "How to become: an axolotl"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 11:30 am – Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 02:30 pm
- **Event Description**: “How to become:” is a collaboration between Ulf Rönnerstrand and Joseba Yerro Izaguirre that investigates how text/literature and movement/physicality can relate to each other in new and unexpected ways. The form is a mixture of reading and movement practice, workshop and performance where the boundary between participant and spectator is blurred. Each new workshop/performance starts from a new literary text that we investigate together practically with the body using the tools Joseba Yerro Izaguirre has developed in his movement practice. This movement practice is a way of fantasizing with the body starting from a subjective bodily experience and ending eventually in a joint, collective investigation of movement, together with music and imagination.We want to let the actor's knowledge of text meet the dancer's way of working with the body.

A session will go like this. The participants are welcomed and given a brief explanation of how we will work and how long it will take. Joseba then will begin by letting the participants land in the room, time and in their bodies. The participants will end up lying down and sitting in relaxed positions. At that moment, Ulf will take over and read a short story or poetic text. When he is finished, and almost without noticing Joseba will continue by leading a movement based improvisation journey that will make the participants explore the fantasy of the story with their bodies. 

Everything is framed by music, light and space that creates concentration. The class does not aim to depict or interpret the text but to examine the text with the help of movement.

By dissolving a number of aesthetic boundaries and contradictions, we want to bridge the working methods of our respective artistic disciplines.

The contradictions that we want to dissolve are:

Audience/performer
Class/performance
Actor/dancer
Story/choreography
Analysis/suggestion
Body/soul
Thought/emotion

We would like to examine widely different writings and genres throughout the year. From ancient classics to science fiction to poetry. What the texts should have in common is that they should create a physical, bodily impulse in us. A need to move should arise when listening to them.
Authors that interest us are, for example, Cortazar, Kafka, Homer, Le Guin.

“How to become: An axolotl.” is the first chapter of these series of workshop/performances we are planning to create in the next year. The session will be based on Julio Cortazar’s short story called “Axolotl” from 1952. This time we will explore themes such as outside/inside, subject/object, the foreign/the recognizable.
