This article examines dance pieces premiered in the Nordic countries at the height of the Syrian refugee crisis in 2015. Framed by the heated debates on current immigration policies, as well as prevailing tropes of a theater of migration and the figure of “the migrant,” the analysis centers on the potential for creating spaces of resistance in the encounter between choreographic performance and spectators. Drawing on analytical concepts such as migratory aesthetics and choreographic agency, the focus is on the interrelationship between the choreographic articulations of experience of migration and their materialization before an audience.

Theatre, Time, and Tendencies Contemporary reflections on historical accounts of performing arts in Denmark In this co-authored paper we examine a selection of publications on theatre history from the last hundred years. Our query has focused on their delimitation of the concept of theatre and the relation between a national Danish and a more comprehensive international perspective. On these grounds we discuss the implications of the various historiographical approaches in their different contexts.
