A-Z over kunstnere og medvirkende

ALEXANDRA HALLÉN:

(SE, 1987) har som kunstner mange facetter. Hun er komponist og performer, og hun udforsker grænserne for sig selv og publikum. Ved at bruge objekter bringer hun virkeligheden ind i kunsten og fremkalder dermed ægte følelser og kropslige reaktioner. Performeren i Halléns værker er ikke længere en formidler af komponistens følelser: hun er nødt til at leve sine egne virkelige følelser og kropslige fornemmelser for at udføre værket. Alexandra Hallén blev tildelt Det Danske Komponistselskabs Musikpris i 2019 og er i gang med en Advanced Postgraduate Diploma i Komposition på Det Jyske Musikkonservatorium.

Alexandra Hallén is a multi-faceted artist, composer and performer who explores the boundaries of herself and the audience. Her use of objects brings reality into the art, and thus provokes forth genuine emotions and bodily reactions. The performer in Hallén’s pieces is no longer a mediator of the composer’s emotions: she has to live her own real emotions and bodily sensations to perform the work. Alexandra Hallén was awarded The Danish Composer Society’s Music Prize in 2019, and is currently undertaking an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Composition at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus.
