“There is more depth and feeling in relation to my body now and my way of expressing”

The conversation is in English with Danish introduction - see English shownotes below.

I Sans for Dans snakker vi denne gang om graviditet og moderskab, og om hvordan det påvirker livet på og bag scenen at blive nogens mor. Danser i Dansk Danseteater Merete Hersvik og sanger og popartist Nanna Øland Fabricius, Oh Land, giver os et indblik i deres personlige historier. Vi får talt om, hvordan det er at stå på scenen med sin gravide krop, trække vejret, hvordan tilgangen til det kunstneriske arbejde ændrer sig med fødslen af ens lille barn - lige fra følelserne i kunsten til logistikken omkring en turnéplan og tivoliture en hverdagsformiddag.

ENGLISH:

This time at Sans for Dans we talk about pregnancy and motherhood and how they affect life on and behind the stage. Dancer at Danish Dance Theatre, Merete Hersvik, and singer and pop artist Nanna Øland Fabricius, known as Oh Land, share their personal stories with us. We discuss what it’s like to perform on stage with a pregnant body, catching your breath, and how the approach to their artistic work changes with the birth of a little one— from the emotions in arts to the logistics around a touring schedule and visiting Tivoli on a weekday.
