Work in process visning: Hyperlow (Twinkler)
(ENGLISH BELOW)
Mandag den 28. november kl. 20-21
Under arbejdstitlen Hyperlow (tidligere Twinkler) møder vi det funklende, det som øjet aner, men som vi ikke helt kan nå eller forstå. Hyperlow er en performance skabt af Thjerza Balaj, Amalie Bergstein Nielsen og Camilla Lind, som hver især, og nu sammen, beskæftiger sig med afdemonisering af kvindelige mytologiske figurer gennem performative praksisser. I den forbindelse vil de undersøge hvilke kropslige og æstetiske udtryk, der kan drages paralleller til i dag. Igennem karakterarbejde vil de udfordre, hvad dans er og muligvis kan være. Her relaterer de til kroppen som et transformerende medie, der igennem rytme og sanselighed kan tage mange former.
I et forløb på ti dage er de tre koreografer og performere i deres startfase i udviklingen af et større værk. Projektet skabes i samarbejde med komponist og lyddesigner Heva Vaupel, og mandag den 28. november kl. 20 inviterer det kunstneriske hold indenfor på Åbne Scene til en work in process visning af det genererede materiale efterfulgt af en samtale og feedback.
Varighed: ca. 60 min. inkl. samtale

Work in process sharing: Hyperlow (Twinkler)
Monday November 28th at 20-21pm
Under the working title Hyperlow (formerly Twinkler) we meet that which sparkles; that, which the eye knows but we cannot quite reach or understand. Hyperlow is a performance created by Thjerza Balaj, Amalie Bergstein Nielsen and Camilla Lind, who are – both individually and as a group – preoccupied with de-demonization of female mythological figures through performative practices. In this residency, they will explore bodily and aesthetic expressions of these mythological figures, and the parallels that can be drawn to today. Through character work, they will challenge what dance is – and possibly can be. They relate to the body as a transforming medium that can take many forms through rhythm and sensuality.
Over the course of ten days, the three choreographers and performers are in their initial phase of their work with Hyperlow. The project is created in collaboration with composer and sound designer Heva Vaupel, and on Monday November 28th the artistic team invite you to a work-in-process sharing of the generated material followed by conversation and feedback.
Duration: approx. 60 min. incl. conversation
