After All

By Carla Anacker

Hide description
Show description

the feeling that something is dimming down
a never ending dimming 

dimming that lets other intensities,

rhythms on other scales unfold

a release

a shift in tonality, texture and presence

inhabiting the shift

cohabiting space 

a ground for thought

still dancing

volumes of bodies
after all dancing

volumes of rhythm, subtleties, details

ending and dancing



A choreography of volumes, energies, forms of presence.

ORION, I’ve died so little

By Inaja K. Skands 

Hide description
Show description

ORION, I’ve died so little explores the body as a vessel for fantasy – a fictitious play of mundane magic. 

There, 

Seen, 

Seeing.

It performs it’s own gesture of becoming.

The piece is based on a series of scores authored by Inaja K. Skands, continuing on her interest in developing choreography through scriptwriting, text(s), scores and other ambiguous written material.

    AIRCON

    By Lara Vejrup Ostan 

    Hide description
    Show description

    Thoughts have ascended to the outer top of your head and this hat doesn’t serve as a proper container anymore. You roll out of bed every morning; migraine and tight tongue. You skim the fridge for 2 seconds. Another minute passes. You are ready for a glass of water. 

    AIRCON is a collection of dances. It adresses a bodily nature of language, experienced through the element of air.
