After intensive months filled with graduation productions and other events, we want to wish you all a nice summer and sum up the spring semester in pictures.

For the third time, Stockholm University of the Arts is hosting the international conference in artistic research, Alliances and Commonalities. The programme for the conference is now published. The conference will take place on 20-22 October 2022.

On 13-15 June, SKH Dance Education held a dance course for children aged 6-12 from Ukraine. Thanks to great cooperation and the students taking great responsibility, it was so successful and appreciated that the same course will be offered again this summer. -"We experienced so much dancing joy and warmth these three days and it was hard to say goodbye when our three days were over," says Ragni Skogsröd, one of the students behind the courses.

The International Sustainable Development Research Society Conference – ISDRS takes place between 15 and 17 June 2022 in Stockholm. This year, the conference is organized under the special topic: Sustainable Development and Courage: Culture, Art and Human Rights. Doctoral candidate Marie-Andrée Robitaille is one of the keynote speakers.

Anja Susa, Professor in Theatre Directing at SKH, is one of the contributors to a new book about the role and position of theatre directors both historically as well as in relation to the contemporary theatre context.

At the end of April SKH was the host of the annual conference of European circus schools, FEDEC conference 2022. And connected to the conference theme of security, a parallel three-day seminar was held for one of the circus world’s most important, but perhaps least-known groups: The riggers. A meeting that many riggers felt was sorely needed.

When new movements with new ideas course through the world, the dance community can’t continue beating the same path. This is the thesis of the organisers of a digital conference in April, which in many ways challenges what a conference is – and what accountability the participants have afterwards.

The doctoral artistic research project "choreo | graphy” by Eleanor Bauer can be found in DiVA and Research Catalogue.

The call for VIS – Nordic Journal for Artistic Research issue 9 is open between 20 April and 1 June 2022. The theme is “Of Memory and Public Space” and editors are Serge von Arx and Eliot Moleba.
