Tender Motor: A physical activation of sensibility and solidarity
The performance trio Tender Motor invites participants to a 20-minute wordless manifestation: a collective lament choir for Palestine. Through a simple yet powerful score titled The Circular Choir, participants were guided into a shared activation of breath, voice, and body. No prior experience was needed. The physical activation was a way to embody grief, care, and resistance together, activating our sensibility and relationality through sound and presence.
Abstract [en]
Based on a practice called "The circular voice practice" the performance trio Tender motor (Kajsa Wadhia, Moa Franzén and Tove Salmgren) guide the participants through an improvisational session based on listening, voicing and moving.

Note
Tender Motoris a non-disciplinary performance trio with backgrounds in visual arts, poetry, choreography, dance, and art curation. The group consists of Kajsa Wadhia, Moa Franzén, and Tove Salmgren, a collaboration that has been exploring performance art and choreography since 2018 at the intersection of sound, breath, and movement. The group composes, improvises, and creates live works, curated events, and publications based on a radically process-oriented method that integrates all aspects of their lives into their shared artistic practice. Since January 2025, the group has been running the two-year research project Sonorous Dances and Reverberant Matters, supported by Stockholm University of the Arts’ internal artistic research program.
