#1 “Atmosphere” 

A powerful yet very tender piece, that explore human vulnerability and how our nature depends on the atmosphere for our existence, for our life…Yet, we are exploring Space looking for an existence there… It is both exciting to be able to control flying in the atmosphere or in space, but still kind of scary to think what would happen if Earths Atmosphere would be destroyed…

Our beautiful planet Earth ‘s Atmosphere is such a unique blend, that has the

necessary balance to maintain Life… We have a wonderful and wonderous

planet that provides us with a life sustaining atmosphere, without it we can’t

breathe… So how should it be, if we took care of it better?! 

#2 " Magnifique" 

My nightmarish dreams about the magnificent force of life, that sustains our  strive for utopian  existence on Earth...  my anxiety thoughts of this force of life becoming weaker with more catastrophic and dystopian existence... So far it seems like nature  still have a strong  life force to repair itself, to grow back which I find wonderfully impressive and beautiful.

(Let's hope it can be given the chance to stay that way?)

#3 “ I Love You "

is inspired by and wants to make awareness about the importance of the human need of feeling loved.

 Since the first breath we take, we depend on being loved… As children the most important thing we need for our development is to feel loved, safe, even as adults we need to feel love to be happy and healthy.  

The most important words there is might be: 

 “ I love you” ! 

-  Founded in 2013, the NYC based Hanna Q Dance Company has been performing

original works ever since. The Swedish born and raised Artistic Director and

Choreographer, Johanna LjungQvist-Brinson, draws inspiration from the forces

of nature and uses its elements to create dynamic narratives through movement.

Johanna’s background in Dunham technique, as well as partnering at once

intricately acrobatic and viscerally human. The dancers express bursts of

passion and athleticism, sweeping the audience into a different world full of

emotions. The company has performed in venues mostly in NYC, including Dixon

Place, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Dance Festival, TADA!Theater, The

Actors Fund Arts Center, Green Space, New York Live Arts, The Triskelion Arts,
