PERFORMANCES AND ARTISTS

More informations about everyone and everything:

SOPHIE GRODIN
You, choir (work-in-progress)

a collective choir performance about desire.
It’s really good to see you. I am happy you are here. I really wanted you to be here: you and no others. We’re in it together, you, and you, and you and the rest of you, and me.

Sophie is a collaborative performance maker. Her practice is built around situations where the relationship between a small group of people becomes part of the material used in the work. The tension between the individual and the group, the fine line between performing and not performing, and the collaboration developed with the audience over the course of a performance are all elements explored in her work. Recently she has explored the choir as a way of establishing a momentary community and co-creation. Sophie has a BA from Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London where she lived for many years, and this year she is finishing her MFA at the Danish National School of Performing Arts.

BOYS ‘N SYNC
Happy Happy Vineyards (2021)
Four chairs on an empty stage – in Happy Happy Vineyards, Boys* in Sync are using the most iconic post dramatic theatre set up and transform it into a colorful and repulsive, happy happy dance. Again, they are examining the play „Der fröhliche Weinberg“ by Carl Zuckmayer, this time through retelling the whole plot in their very own way. Together they frame and deconstruct the heteronormative storylines of the 100 year old theatre piece, trying to answer the most urging question: Can fun be political, in a time of existential fascist threats? The friends from Poland, Norway, Denmark and Germany reflect on the rise of right wing movements in their own respective home countries and compare their European experiences with the situation of 1920’s Germany. They shit and pee and bruise and bleed, while recreating the most German theatre play that has ever been written.
Boys* in Sync is a transdisciplinary performance collective from South Africa, Denmark, Norway and Germany. Our works combine elements and methods of contemporary dance, post dramatic theatre and the South African storytelling culture as an expression of our artistic backgrounds. We work on the basis of our respective gender constructions, personal biographies & body archives. We are researching the phenomenon of cheesiness, implementing a certain nostalgia of the 90s boy band phenomenon and mixing, deconstructing and queering it with today’s reflection of masculinity. We like to set ourselves impossible scores, fail while trying, and present its outcome through moving our bodies, voices and souls. We are working in a flat structure; all of us producing, performing, shaping the performance, working with notions of shared safe spaces, breaking gender norms and borders of nations and relations. www.boysinsync.com

SNORRE ELVIN
Post Swirl
Post Swirl as a reflection, an adaptation, a solo version and/or a tail of the dance performance Vortex Delight. Vortex Delight is Snorre Elvin’s final performance at his masters in choreography at The Danish National School of Performing Arts. Moving through spiral pathways in a practice of walking into something more than walking the work explores states of being, repetition, transformation and the acts of seeing and being seen in a landcape in constant rotation.

Snorre Elvin is a dancer and choreographer based in Copenhagen. He works with dance as a practice of transformation, sensorial experience, pleasure, healing, performativity and queerness. Currently he’s doing an MA in choreography at The Danish National School of Performing Arts where he also graduated as a dancer in 2015. He is a part of the Copehangen based dance collective danseatelier and has been working with the international collective dance for plants through several years.

BOAZ BARKAN & ANDREAS LIEBMANN
Total International (Lokal)
In the work TOTAL INTERNATIONAL (LOKAL) #2 the Swiss performing artist Andreas Liebmann and the performer Boaz Barkan invite the audience into a domestic space containing a cello, a skateboard, old LP records and a portable gramophone. The two performers pose the question of how, as international artists, they can challenge the colonialist notion of conquering the world via air travel and digital communication. But travel is also about the imagination. The audience is therefore invited to write a letter by hand. What access to others somewhere else in the world does this open? The work presents current issues in the midst of a climate crisis in a poetic and unpretentious way. The two performers ask, amongst other things: How can you communicate with people around the world with the help of the imagination? And how can you experience a distant place without actually being there? This is where art comes into play in indicating and expressing alternatives.

Boaz Barkan holds a BA in Dance and Psychology from Cal-Arts and Empire State College, USA, teaches dance and Feldenkrais and he is the artistic director of nolands-performance et al.
Andreas Liebmann is educated at the Theaterhochschule Zürich Switzerland (Now ZHDK) and teaches direction at the Danish National School of Performing Arts. He is also the artistic director of the Tårnby Park Studio.

Tanya Rydell Montan
space between cells
How to stay with the complexity of possible and imaginary futures and presents? This question leads the inquiry into our feelings about, and physical relationship to, the changing climate. By recycling materials from bits and pieces of research done during the last 2,5 years, this collection tries to understand itself in its process of becoming.
It is dispersed among many mappings of imaginary spaces.
It is an attempt to perform a magic trick.
It is a love letter to something not yet lost.
It is sharing a process, far more than performing outcomes.

Tanya Montan Rydell is a dance artist based in Copenhagen since 2018, where she’s busy with searching for sustainability in the precarious, challenge in the fragile and activist potential in artistic work. Since graduating from the program Dance & Participation at DASPA in 2020, her interest in connecting dance and environments has been in a continuous process. While trying to find the spaces connecting climate activism and dance, she’s involved through her company Nexus Dance with projects ranging from Esther Wrobel’s “Microgravity”, working with vertical dance and virtual reality, to productions like “Jump! Life as Performance”, working performance as both art and physical achievement, by My Prim based in Sweden. Before arriving in Denmark, she spent 8 years in Munich, first to study and later to work. Her time there was mostly spent on creating and participating in interdisciplinary works with both musicians, actors, opera-singers, and theatre directors.
