Petter Skurdal is the 2023/24 recipient of the Chelsea Arts Club Trust Award for Dance, and studies at The Place / London Contemporary Dance School.

“My practice is a mystery to myself. The best way for me to put it is that I have questions I never want to find the answers to. The state of confusion is one that is satisfying to me and captures a glimpse of our reality.

Lately, language and text has been more and more present in my process, are there connections between stream of conciousness writing and improvisation? We never say what we mean to say, or tell people how we truly feel. I wonder if the same applies to movement.”
