Three Works

TOCAre is an immersive performance created by MFA student Lucia Maglio in collaboration with a diverse group of participants over an eight-week study.

The performance emerged from the movement research "Hair Air Care," where the group explored the cultural significance and emotional depth that hair carries across time, space, and species. In this exploration, hair emerges as a powerful medium for connection, inviting a deeper reflection on intimacy, care and identity.

Set within a ritualistic atmosphere, TOCAre invites the audience not only to observe but also to engage, feeling the sensation of touch and being touched by hair, allowing a connection that arises from this everyday yet intimate habit.

Shapes is a dance performance created in collaboration between choreographer and MFA student Stine Frandsen and Kulturpiloterne Amager – a local youth group of children aged 10 to 14. Over the course of eight weekly sessions, the group has explored the notions of form and free form through movement, drawing and writing. What is a form? What is a free form? The relationship between how form appears visually and how it can be sensed has been a focal point and topic of discussion. 

A vase has the form of a vase. An apple has the form of an apple. Random doodles or a splash of something - what can be described with words, and what cannot? What makes something become or appear as free? 

The projects is part of Stine Frandsen's graduation project, researching how dancing together can be considered a practice of freedom.

Kulturpiloterne Amager is an initiative by Københavns Kommune, and its dance and performance class is directed by My Lindblad Szlavik.

'A process for things to come alive' is a performance made by MFA student Tora Hed.

The choreography holds curiosity towards listening to the process of glass making and the physical state of it, as if it was a dance.

Part of the process was spend at Blaes glass workshop located on Refshaleøen, learning glass making from glass artists. The work explores meeting points between different materialities as an attempt for transformation.
