Högsboligan
Högsboligan – Episode 1: Alyssa Chloé This opening episode frames knowledge as something learned, stored and transformed through the moving body, taking One Hundred Buckets of Peace as a point of departure; a site-specific ceremonial choreography created in Värnamo at the Peace bench by the river Lagan. Dancer, choreographer and educator Alyssa Chloé [https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyssa-chlo%C3%A9-b1558a49/]joins a conversation that moves between pop, protest and dance history. From Katherine Dunham as a Black dance matriarch to research by John Paul Zaccarini, the episode traces radical embodied lineages. Martha Graham is reframed as a working-class hero, grounded in material struggle and collective labor and placed in dialogue with dancers such as Walter Nicks (July 26, 1925 – April 3, 2007) was an African-American modern dancer, choreographer and teacher of jazz [https://alchetron.com/Jazz-dance] and modern dance [https://alchetron.com/Modern-dance]. He was a certified master teacher of Katherine Dunham [https://alchetron.com/Katherine-Dunham] technique. He was professionally active for nearly 60 years.) and Claude Marchant [https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Marchant], highlighting how technique emerges from survival and social conditions. MTV aesthetics surface as a bodily archive and a key influence on Alyssa’s Pop Trash’d (2024). Hosted by choreographer Moa M. Sahlin, edited by journalist and dancer Jazz Munteanu and rooted in conversations with the neighbours of Högsbo, Gothenburg, depicts dance as lived knowledge, local experience and cultural grit! Cultural grit values what endures: practices forged through labor, community and refusal to disappear.
