The Living Space—The Relational Field as Choreographic and Scenic Material We wish to explore the living space—the relational field—as choreographic and scenic material. We work with the ensemble as an organism, not as a group of individual performers. Through improvisational scores, we explore when and how a collectively experienced sense of presence arises, and how…
Take Care of Caring The project is rooted in contemporary dance research and explores what an aesthetics of embodied care might look like. How can it be choreographed? Does such a choreography already exist, and do we need to challenge it? Taking as its starting point various improvisational and somatic scores centered on different practices…
RE-WILD Hvordan kan vi arbejde med danserens styrker og begrænsinger og lade både spændinger og konflikt, omsorg, kærlighed og ligeværd udspille sig mellem generationer? Hvilken forundring og poesi opstår der i mødet mellem dansere fra tre forskellige generationer? Hvordan kan spændingsfeltet mellem dansernes samhørighed og forskellighed, sætte publikums følelser og eftertænksomhed i spil? Forsøgets titel…
The Dig Our Forsog will be the first of three research and development residencies lasting a total of six weeks and taking place in Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Helsinki.

The…
A Hole Without Boundaries—Mapping a Paradox An exploration of artistic formats (choreography, objects, text) that can give form to the paradox of having lost something one has never had. One could call it an attempt to describe nothingness, rootlessness, absence, and, by extension, the emotions of grief and longing. Report THE TEAM BEHIND…
Anti-musical: Sound work and characters – surveys The group will explore how to create an “anti-musical” that goes against common musical norms of the genre, but still has the dramaturgical form of a musical. We will work with intensive character, sound and voice work, as well as how to find songs/sound themes and a sound…
FEEL FREE The project will make visible the emotional deposits of an effective time. Conditions that often go unspoken, but shape our lives. The project is based on a somatic dance practice, a strategy for presence that stage and performance artist Tora Balslev has developed over a number of years. The method emerged as a…
The Dying Swan Song I will physically and vocally explore grief, loss, and transformation inspired by the myth of the Swan Song, and with a point of departure in Swan Lake. The project investigates how endings may hold the seed of something new. I will research movement, voice, and spatial proximity to the audience, creating…
two for sensation How do we source performance material out of sensation in real time, and where does that lead us? Keren and Maya explore different scores and frameworks for improvising with and out of sensation. We’ll use each other as partners for stimulating sensation in the body and witnessing its emergence into dance, performance…
Co-Weaving, Monophony During the research, I will transform my previous dance performance (2024) with five performers into a solo version, . I will weave my prose text, which is intertwined with personal memories of migration and friction, into the fabric of movement. By employing choreographic scores of repetition, amplification, and transformation, I aim to shift…
To cultivate a wild heart Coming from a fascination for large spaces and how their energy can be shifted by the appearance of dances that are here and gone we want to research on the question: How can dance take up space? What traces can it leave? How can it shift a space, a…
