The Source  is an artistic research project on the meeting of dance art, film art and music. Our vision is to create a cinematic dance film - a poetic and meaningful fiction whose language is movement. Struggle, hope and rebirth are the themes we examine physically, rhythmically and visually with the aim of weaving together a story of survival and inheritance through generations.

The film is created and filmed at the ruins of the Alvastra monastery, a former Cistercian monastery founded in 1143 by French monks at Omberg in Ödeshög municipality. Through an organic and exploratory process, we develop choreography, directing, photography and dramaturgy on site.

For a timeless and epic feeling, we film in black and white,16 mm, with natural light. Inspired by Sven Nykvist, "the master of light", we look for images where movement, light and shadow add another poetic and spiritual dimension to our film. The Source was premiered at the Bergmanweek filmfestival at Fårö Sweden in summer 2022.

An interactive dance performance where children and their adults are invited to dance and play.
Fur is a curious, playful and sensitive little creature who loves to dance. The show starts with Fur slowly waking up and taking shape on the stage floor. Little by little Fur invites physical interaction and dance, boundaries are blurred and the audience becomes an active part of the performance.

A 13 minutes long piece for 10 dancers and 4 musicians created in collaboration with composer Erika Vega. The starting point for the collaboration was the cloister garden at Royaumont - it’s architecture, acoustics, history and materials (stone, gravel, water, plants).

Gilda discovered Argentinian Tango in 2003. Fascinated by the intensity of this improvised social dancing, its specific technique, culture and history, Gilda started her research in the meeting point between contemporary dance, Argentine tango and physical theatre. Her research led to a short film and later to a full evening creation that toured in Sweden from 2007 – 2009. “B rör mig” was also performed at the Cambalache Festival in Argentina, Buenos Aires.

“B rör mig” was created with the support of Norrlandsoperan (the Opera in the north of Sweden) in the autumn of 2006.
