With this concert Louise Schr\u00f8der makes her debut from the soloist class at RAMA.<\/p>\n
Louise Schr\u00f8der is finishing her studies in composition on the Advanced Postgraduate at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus with this concert. The course is the highest level at the academy. The concert features the world premiere of the work CYKLUS.<\/p>\n
CYKLUS is a work by Louise Schr\u00f8der that uses the menstrual cycle as an artistic framework. It is an interdisciplinary work of music, dance and multimedia, in which each phase of the menstrual cycle is given its own sound, body and mood.<\/p>\n
The work is an artistic translation of the body\u2019s biology \u2013 an interpretation of what it might feel like to live with a menstrual cycle. It addresses the taboo that still surrounds the physical and emotional experiences that can accompany the cycle. For many, menstruation in particular can be experienced as something shameful and deeply private.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the work insists that the menstrual cycle concerns us all, regardless of whether we menstruate ourselves or not. The work is therefore a movement from the internal to the external \u2013 the private is made collective and the biological is made poetic.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is only in the last year or so that I myself have begun to truly understand what happens in the body throughout the different phases of the menstrual cycle. This has made me reflect on just how little we actually learn about something so fundamental to the human body \u2013 something that, for many people, plays a significant role in their everyday lives. Knowledge about the menstrual cycle wasn\u2019t a natural part of my own school education, and much of what I know today I\u2019ve had to seek out myself. That\u2019s why the concert begins with a pre-concert talk in which Dr Ida Bergholdt Jul Christiansen talks about the menstrual cycle and the body\u2019s biological processes. I will then talk about the piece and the process of interpreting the different phases within an artistic context.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2013 Louise Schr\u00f8der<\/p>\n You are welcome to attend the concert even if you haven\u2019t taken part in the pre-concert talk. Both the pre-concert talk and the concert are free, and you can simply turn up without a ticket. Please arrive in good time.<\/p>\n CYKLUS is supported by Koda Kultur and Aarhus City Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32172,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
