A Blurry Thing

camilla strandhagen’s choreographic practice explores how bodily experiences of illness, dissociation, and neurodivergence can generate alternative epistemologies and challenge normative frameworks.

Choreography is a form in which speculative fiction unfolds in real time, proposing ambiguous understandings of body, perception, and knowledge production. A Blurry Thing explores how experiences of illness and (dis)ability can become the foundation for new aesthetic and methodological tools. Through the strategy of blurring, as both a political term and an artistic gesture, the project examines how movement, sound, and language can be destabilised to open up new forms of simultaneity and multiplicity.

The project starts with the premise that a sick body demands new fictions. Recognising that these fictions cannot arise from a single body-mind, camilla strandhagen turns to autofiction as a collective practice, inviting multiple voices to “write” together in time and space. This has led to the formation of a neuroqueer research group, which accompanies the choreographic process as both a feedback reference for accessibility and an experimental forum for rethinking categories of disability.
