Dyreriget – du er ikke inviteret (2019-2020).

“Dyreriget – du er ikke inviteret” is a project exploring aesthetics about dehumanization of groups of people and is a collaboration with dancer and choreographer Peter Vadim. The projects consists of a live performance and panel discussions at Bådteatret, video art by Frigge Fri, exhibition and performance at Warehouse9 and sound art podcast by Eduardo Abrantes.

The podcast is recorded during our performative research at Ubåden, Bådteatret. Through dance and choreography, we explored the aesthetics of dehumanization and invited a broad range of panel members to discuss the dilemmas, paradoxes and issues that arise when groups of people are dehumanized and compared to pests. The topics of the discussions were amongst other art, choreography and politics – gender, diversity and democracy – public space, performativity and law. The podcast is put together by Eduardo Abrantes. Eduardo added an extra layer of ambient sounds to the podcast.

Alienation (2013-2014).

Alienation is a movement language, an archetype, a performance, a character which I have developed since I started to dance in my room. In 2013, I gave it a structure and brought the movements alive in a performance to an international choreography contest Make Your Move. I won the jury prize as Talent of the Year. In 2014, I developed it and did a longer performance to the event Off the Record at Teatret Svalegangen.
