Resumo
The historical building typology ‘dansbana’ was important social spaces, especially among young people, in Sweden and the Northern parts of Europe, in the beginning of the 20th century. They were typically small-scale structures built of wood, a lot of times designed and constructed as a community activity. The music was played live, and the dance would be different kinds of steering dances, where girls were waiting to be asked out to the dance floor. Dansbana! is an organization (run by the architects Anna Pang, Anna Fridolin and Teres Selberg), creating public spaces for dance with hands-on, dance-specific methods, founded to change statistics showing that young girls are heavily underrepresented as users of public spaces for activities. At the same time the concept of the traditional building typology ‘dansbana’ is updated to meet the needs and wishes of local dance communities and young girls in today’s contemporary world. Gender inequality is global and one of the biggest obstacles to sustainable development, economic growth and poverty reduction. This research aims to produce and communicate alternative methods to work together towards the SDGs, challenging norms within urban development and broadening the spectrum of how to execute practice-based research globally. Using the experiences from three projects by the organisation Dansbana! in the region of Stockholm, Sweden as well as their most recent installations in Istanbul, Turkey and Akron, USA this research aims at a) visualizing methods of inclusive and context-specific production of public space with young girls as focus group b) developing further the cross-disciplinary participatory methods used within the organization Dansbana! today c) expanding the role of the architect through playful, performative investigations
