Signal
Stage Production – Interdisciplinary (LTU)
A frequency traveling from sender to receiver. An experience, a message, a state of being. A system error, or a place to hide.
A signal is sent out; sometimes it arrives, sometimes it dissolves into biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip booooooooop – SIGNAL FAILURE. Hello?
The third-year bachelor students in Interdisciplinary Performing Arts Production at LTU (Luleå University of Technology) have, from multiple perspectives and contexts, created spatial installations and other artworks in response to the theme of PLAY. Through personal points of entry, the students explore the theme using diverse materials, media, and questions. These encounters come together in SIGNAL.
Participating artists: Felicia Thunström, Linnea Gillberg, Ludwig Rosengren, Sara Ingvarsdotter, Tuva Dahlgren.
Felicia Thunström (b. 1998, Strängnäs) has a background in theatre and a practice that moves between the stage and spatial installation. She works performatively, using the body as a tool to explore the relationship between material, space, and action. An ongoing interest in how materials can be shaped, their textures, and their role in storytelling is central to her work. She is currently working with biodynamic and living materials such as kombucha, investigating processes of decay in relation to contemporary conditions.

Linnea Gillberg has a background in acting and music, but works freely with other means and expressions within the performing arts, such as directing, film, writing, and the possibilities found in what she has not yet tried. Strong visions guide her works, while an open process shapes the details. She is interested in the larger world and in how the individual finds their place within it. Through shifting atmospheres, experiences, and contexts, she creates spaces to step into for a while.

Ludwig Rosengren
Ludwig Rosengren is a performing artist and creator who often works with repurposed textiles to craft atmospheres and environments – fabrics that carry history and previous contexts. They are interested in norm-creative, choreographic, and sensory approaches. The sustainable and contemporary. Ludwig moves freely between different styles, techniques, and disciplines within performing arts, craft, and storytelling – most often with children as the primary audience.

Sara Ingvarsdotter
Sara Ingvarsdotter is curious about the potential of different materials and media, as well as the encounters between them. She uses exploratory methods in her creative process and often works spatially with a mix of visual, auditory, and tactile elements, while also being interested in the audience as a co-creating participant.
@sara.ingvarsdotter
Tuva Dahlgren bases her artistic practice in oil painting, continually branching out into children’s book illustration, the design of scenic light shows and posters, and more sculptural work. She is driven by clear visions and enjoys creating multi sensory experiences where sound, light, and installations work together to engage the visitor or fellow human. Her three year education in Performing Arts Production at Luleå University of Technology enriches her practice with technical knowledge in lighting, sound, scenography, props, color, and materials.
