Innovation & Interdisciplinary Projects
Dahl’s work as a creative artist is distinguished by her interest in innovation and interdisciplinary performance. She has developed projects such as “Solitude” a theatrical production for solo violin, chamber orchestra, and dancers that received acclaim at the Bergen International Festival, and “Sei Solo/LUCE” and “Lysprinsesså” created in collaboration with the University of the Arts London, which integrates music, light, movement, and audience participation performed at Stavanger Chamber music festival, Nordlysfestivalen og FestivAlta.
These projects exemplify her commitment to reimagining performance practice, expanding the boundaries of classical presentation, and fostering meaningful connections with audiences.
Research & Artistic Development
Ingerine Dahl is actively engaged in artistic research that explores new modes of performance, pedagogy, and audience interaction. Her projects often blend traditional repertoire with improvisation, theatrical elements, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
A key part of her current research is the interactive sensory ion-device; Muzziball, an innovative interactive format designed to make music performance more dynamic, participatory, and inclusive. Combining chamber music with elements of play, physicality, and improvisation, “Muzziball”challenges not only traditional hierarchies between performer and audience, but also the links between arts and health. It has been piloted in educational settings as well as public performances, offering new insights into embodied music-making, collaboration, and audience engagement.
Her research contributes to contemporary debates on how classical musicians can develop versatility, autonomy, and creative ownership, aligning with international movements in artistic research and higher music education. Dahl’s findings have been disseminated through performances, workshops, and projects that foreground embodiment, creativity, and innovation in string playing.
