‘As a child, I used to sit on the balcony
made some sandwiches
poured some juice beforehand
and read a book there,
thinking I was somewhere on a vacation...’
A BODY TO DWELL deviser, performer
RAGNAR UUSTAL
‘I think I have underestimated my
knees...
Having had an injury with my knee, has put a lot of attention on my body joints
grown awareness in my body overall.’
'My creative path...
I’m curious to experience different disciplines and practices, to look where I haven’t looked before.
Working with different creative minds gives me the opportunity to keep myself moving creatively.’

‘After moving into my own home I slept on a couch for a long time because I didn’t have a bed,
just a frame.
Eventually, I bought a mattress
and the first night and morning in my bedroom was beautiful because the sun was shining into the bedroom
giving a fresh start.’
