Five Works

This piece is not about the dancers. It is also not about their movements. It is about what both dancers and movements move. 

What they move is time.

Between them rhythm unfolds.

Rhythm not as in regular counting, but rather like rhythm in language.
Some syllables longer than others. Here and there a pause that allows a thought to ripe. One word stretched to fully taste it on the tongue. Another one quickly swallowed.

This piece is not about the dancers. It is also not about the movement itself. And yet, the piece depends on both.

A frontal fiction of perpetual transformation, a flatscape that deepens itself before your eyes.

'But, I Am Shaped like a Star' explores the body as a vessel for fantasy — a fictitious play of mundane magic.

Three dancers appear, reappear, disappear, and reveal themselves to you, as you reveal to us.

The project explores the icon(s) of the Fool and the Wishing Table, which in this context serve as symbols for representing the mundane body and the dancing body, as mediums through which ever-evolving fiction and fantasy can unfold and develop from. 

The piece is based on a series of scores, continuing on Inaja’s interest in developing choreography through text(s) and written material.

All the roads are in love with Linda. Linda has decided to stay home. 

'All These Roads Just for You' is a musing on orientation and travel – on particular spatial and temporal paradigms that exist in road mythology. It is an unrequited romance between an ancient architecture, sprung from the need to move, and a woman who has other ideas.

'The Script' is intended as an object, a choreographic score, a metaphoric path to follow.

While pretending, exploring allusive relationships, riding dances and engaging in choreographic compositions, two dancers read through pages where narratives and geographies of a fictional mundane leak out of synchronicity, separation, encounters and rhythms.

text excerpt

From the book 'No One Belongs Here More Than You' by Miranda July

'ANTAGONIST' features five characters - four humans and a dummy - exploring how power and judgement relates to perspective.

Using the camera lens, the piece asks questions about who the viewer is, who has the authority to pass judgements and how shifting perspectives can transform power dynamics and offer new dimensions of meaning and presence.
