Madeleine Månsson took a different route than many on her journey towards a professional career as a dancer. A former social worker who found dance as an adult. Madeleine has toured around the world with the highly acclaimed duet Dare to Wreck. Today she is working on a new solo with choreographer Carl Knif called Vinterresa.
Madeleine shares how she uses translation in her creative work and teaching – and the importance of having a community of disabled artists for support, inspiration and everything else that keeps her dancing.
Madeleine and host Kit Brown also chat about Fine Lines, by Roser López Espinosa for Skånes Dansteater. A duet of power and precision that world premiered at Holland Dance Festival in 2020. You also get to hear an audio described extract of the piece.
