Piling Days
is a choreographic project by Frida Billeskov and Magalí Camps that explores the actions of gathering, accumulating, and carrying through dance and choreographic accumulations. The project draws on the choreographic method “piling,” developed during previous residencies, which views choreography as a living structure that is continuously reorganized and transformed over time. Through repetition, reorganization, transmission, and video documentation, we will explore how choreography can be understood as a collection of movements, relationships, and actions that are constantly changing over time.
In our experiment, we also aim to revisit previously developed choreographic material to explore how it can be further developed and refined through repetition, transmission, and reorganization, and to develop various “stacks” of choreographic situations and logics.
THE TEAM BEHIND
Frida Billeskov is a dancer and performer based in Copenhagen. She graduated with a degree in dance and choreography from the Danish School of Performing Arts in 2024 and works both on her own artistic practice and as a performer in performing arts productions. She has collaborated with choreographers such as Quim Bigas, Alma Söderberg, Cristian Duarte, and Sigrid Stigsdatter Mathiassen. Her work explores the interplay between dance and choreography and examines the dancing body through themes such as consumption, digestion, and bodily organization. Currently, her artistic explorations revolve around the concept of the “midline” as a somatic, anatomical, and conceptual dimension.
Magalí Camps is a dancer and performer based in Copenhagen and Stockholm. She graduated with a degree in dance and choreography from the Danish School of Performing Arts in 2022 and has since worked with Cullberg as well as choreographers such as Alma Söderberg, Halla Ólafsdóttir, Jeanine Durning, Doris Uhlich, Renan Martins, and Matija Ferlin. In her artistic practice, she explores the intersection of voice, language, and performativity, with a particular focus on intimacy and relationships. Through her work with the tensions between the sensory and the symbolic, she explores the boundaries between music and speech.
