About

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm Marcella.
I’m a dancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I went to Laban then I did some other things then I came here. I really like it (here, which is in France now). 🥐


I like jokes in between languages. It’s kind of internal so this is kind of a difficult place to make such. I know Swedish, Spanish and English and now I want to learn French. It’s a really nice language and it’s good to know (here).

As a child I grew up in the countryside of Sweden but actually everything in Sweden is countryside compared to many other places with people in the world.

I’ve always loved handcrafting of different kinds and I wish time could go a bit slower. I like when the days feel long.
I’ve always been super economical with money and obsessed in recycling materials.

I have a drivers licence and when I’m in Chile my relatives tell me I should drive but they really don’t get how different it is to drive in the hills of Viña del Mar and surroundings, compared to little calm and forest:y Sweden.

My partner and I have been together since the day we met which is more than 13 years ago. Actually, we met once before in a music festival when we were younger and I told him he was cute and he turned me down but he doesn’t remember that.
How I work About

In my work I wanted to do something with these cardboard figures so I had to print out some images of something. I really couldn’t come up with anything so I tried not to be so creative about it. I printed out a cat, a mine and a queue.

I cannot come up with any movement material at the moment, that satisfies me.


So I only have skipping.

I really like something about the almost of things. Like almost falling, but still having to fall. Almost throwing, but still having to throw. Almost giggling. Almost being seen.

I’ve always been scared of not being enough I think that’s in my work all the time. I don’t want to almost skip, though. It should be 100% skipping.

Almost is perhaps associated to a lack of things. Like with the cardboard figures, or having extras from the audience for my performance instead of performers, having to fill in gaps all the time. What it should have been. I like to do the images that makes the audience understand/see what it should have been. So, as if I was only showing the intention and not completing.

What brings me material is often: having a lot of time to just daydream, fantasising that I am loved by my idols, having time to ponder around and wait for it to come, repeating things in the studio, moving in other places than the studio (but perhaps not dancy-dancy movement), and looking at others moving. At the moment, I find it not so lucrative to be alone in the studio so I think my ideas will arise when I’m in other’s settings and working on other things.

I think I always danced to be a beautiful fairy, flower or princess. 💍 In different versions towards different audiences/gazes in different times of life. Maybe I still want to be that yet for another audience. But, I also try to find joy in every bit of the work and I think I’m kind of doing that.

Last year I wrote to a choreographer while I was on maternity leave because I wanted to do one of his pieces. Until today I’ve never actually seen any of his work but when ever I’ve read about them or seen glimpses I fantasies about how good they are.
These versions in my head are really good.
He’s my idol. I’m not sure I actually want to see too much of his work anymore.

If I use linguistic language I would like to use as simple French as possible so that it is in French but that non-french speaking people could still kind of understand. Like, maybe using a poem like Les roses sont rouges et les violettes sont bleues. Le miel est doux, mais pas aussi doux que vous.

In the past, I didn’t talk so much. So I’ve lip-synced and audio recorded to solve some problems. Maybe I am starting to feel like talking soon. 🧷

🕴🏼 Bye.
