BIOGRAPHY
Jeannette Ginslov (PhD, MSc, MA) is a dance and media artist, filmmaker, lecturer, collaborator and published scholar. Her background combines somatic dance, choreography, video creation and philosophy. This transdisciplinary combination has consistently informed her artistic practice and collaborations where she uses Screendance, as well as, Augmented and Mixed Reality to combine choreographic, technological and philosophical experimentation, entwining embodiment, technology and materiality: an embodied materiality.
Since 2010 she has worked as an independent Screendance and video documentary maker, lecturer, producer, workshop facilitator, and has screened many of her works internationally at major Screendance festivals. She has written and presented more than 20+ publications and produced 200+ Screendance videos, documentaries, and digital dance installations.
In 2021 she was awarded a PhD from the Arts and Creative Industries Department at London South Bank University, LSBU, for a study entitled Deep Flow: a tentacular worlding of dance, biosensor technology, lived experience, and embodied materials of the human and non-humankind, funded by the university. Before that she obtained an MSc in Screendance from the School of Media Arts and Imaging, University of Dundee, Scotland for a study on the concrete and the digital – emotional and kinaesthetic amplification of the authentic and digitalized body in Screendance and an MA in Drama/Choreography from Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa for a study: The Dance Factory - Newtown Johannesburg ‘a site of resistance’.
From 2010 to 2022 she collaborated on Augmented Reality and Screendance projects with the Living Archives Project, Malmö University under the titles: AffeXity, AffeXity: Passages and Tunnels, Conspiracy Archives (2020) and CATALYSTS: Somatic Resonance (2022). Ginslov has founded three companies: Screendance Africa (Pty) Ltd, Walking Gusto - Multimedia Dance Theatre, in South Africa and in 2023 GINSLOV MEDIA STUDIO, a registered media production company in Sweden, providing Services in filming and editing, curating for festivals, media creation for AR Installations, as well as coaching and mentoring.
Her current research explores somatic, digital and embodied materialities, using video as well as Mixed and Augmented Realities, to encourage people to immerse themselves in a merging of their inner and outer worlds, connecting the human and non-human, through the digital and physical worlds around them. She continues to practice Deep Flow, her embodied movement practice which combines: embodied movement, with choreographic, technological and philosophical experimentation, using biosensor, digital, and embodied technologies. She lives in and works in Malmö, Sweden.
