Kitt Johnson is a dancer and choreographer from Denmark who works worldwide with solo performances and site-specific projects. Her repertoire also includes ensemble works, New Circus, and productions designed for children. In her solo performances she addresses existential themes of the human condition, and in her site-specific works as the artistic director of the company X-act she explores the hidden secrets and potential of neighborhoods in many parts of the world.
Kitt Johnson says about her work: “I highly believe that the things that we are occupied with as private people in our private life, have a lot of energy. If there's something really urgent and interesting for you, there's a lot of energy there. To create a performance from that point of departure has a huge potential to also be valuable for other people. In a way, my job is to transform what is urgent for me as a private person into something that can be hopefully universal to all times and cultures. That's very ambitious. Or at least to be relevant for other people because these themes are existential. The themes themselves are relevant to everyone, because there's a lot of power where it burns.”
In Radio evolve we speak about the power of an embodied investigation of our shared human condition.
