“Processing” is part of a global project of creative/teaching of the Shifting pop body language that Linda has been developing since 2015.
The specific creation for Malmö Dance Week is an opportunity to explore and create with other bodies that come from Hip Hop aesthetic, a performance that will put the gesture into light, working with strong individuals parts of an organic corpus
“My personal approach is using metamorphosis to embody emotions and translate it in an imaginary perspective, even supernatural through a precise posture work.
Be ready to explore your own, undefined multiples and push your body to another level of consciousness”
– Linda Hayford
Linda Hayford
Although Linda Hayford is best known as an ambassador of popping, her dance practice has evolved through the encounter between genres and moves. Taking a crossover of styles as her starting point, the choreographer seeks an aesthetic focused on metamorphosis. Her inaugural solo Shapeshifting (2016) materializes the power represented by the passage from one form to another in an intimate fresco that deploys a succession of chimeras. In AlShe/Me (2019), Linda Hayford, working alongside her older brother Mike Hayford, turns her attention to the ephemeral nature of popping. Created in 2022, Recovering invites 3 performers to reflect on the healing process following a trauma through the transmission and appropriation of different tools from Linda Hayford’s “Shifting Pop” vocabulary. For Linda Hayford, alteration has become an object of reflection on the constantly changing nature of identity, where every stage embodies a facet of humanity, culminating in the complexity of displacement.
