Three Works

TOCAre is an immersive performance created by MFA student Lucía 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? Which forms or structures do we need in order to feel free when moving and dancing together? The relation between how a movement appears visually and how it can be sensed from within 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. Things that begin where they end. Or free themselves unlocking their chains. Attempting to be nothing? Circles, lines, triangles. A blob or a blur. (No) sharp edges.

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.

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

Part of the process took place at BLÆS – Reffen Glass Studio, learning glassmaking from glass artists. The work explores meeting points between different materialities as an attempt for transformation and aliveness.
