Out Of Office.arts: The Spiral of Violence
“The Spiral of Violence” is a project by Out Of Office.arts that addresses intimate partner violence. Through this project, they are working to translate the sociological concept of the “Spiral of Violence”—which describes the increasing normalisation of violent patterns in intimate relationships—into an immersive theatre performance that draws both dramaturgically and physically on these very patterns. “Time in Space” will be used specifically to explore how revisits function in relation to the set design

Worksharing at UP: Friday, December 11, 1:45–2:30 p.m.

FERDINAND/HESTNES/LACY: At Night, I Scream Buzzing Bees Out of My Wrist
“At Night, I Scream Buzzing Bees Out of My Wrist” is a preliminary study for an immersive choral work about physical pain by set designer and visual artist Freya Sif Hestnes, composer Lil Lacy, and playwright Sonja Ferdinand. In a society and an era where we want to avoid pain and hardship, where we constantly strive to alleviate, improve, optimize, and reshape, the work will challenge the idea that life can be pain-free. Time in Space will be used to test the material’s theatrical qualities and to explore cultural representations of pain.

Daily Fiction: FORGRENING
FORGRENING is a performance by Daily Fiction about plants, the human body, and the substance that connects all living things. Here, the audience gathers around 206 branches from trees and shrubs—the same number as the bones in the human body—and is invited to participate in a ritual in which the branches and the body become a single sculptural whole. Through Tid i Rum [Time in Space], Tora Balslev will begin her exploration of the body, movement, and material.

Julienne Doko Dance: RAVEN
RAVEN is a choreographic work inspired by the Nordic raven, which symbolises a deep connection to the land and seeks to inspire community-oriented ways of life.  Julienne Doko explores this symbol through movement, dance, and song to reestablish a connection to the Gbaya culture, where she was born but grew up at a distance. In Tid i Rum [Time in Space], Julienne Doko will work on transforming the piece from a solo into a full-length version that includes two additional dancers, each with their own cultural background and dance vocabulary.

Worksharing at UP: Friday, December 17, 2:30–3:15 p.m.

NØGENSNEGL: The Encounter as Method
Nøgensnegl is an artistic performance project created by Iben Damkjær, who works
with caring performance in public spaces, at festivals and cultural institutions, as well as in natural and cultural settings. The project moves between performing arts, visual arts, and interaction, inviting presence, wonder, and new forms of community. In “Time in Space,” the team will explore the encounter as an artistic method and ask the question: “How can a theatrical situation arise through the concrete relationship between performer, participant, costume, sound, and space?”

Worksharing at UP: Friday, January 22, 1:00–1:45 p.m.

Arian Sajina: 30 Rounds
In “30 Rounds,” dancer Arian Sajina explores a phenomenon in breakdancing known as “30 rounds”: When a breaker turns 30, they dance 30 rounds of improvised dance phrases in a row in a cypher—a circle where dancers take turns dancing. In Arian Sajina’s exploration, he views the phenomenon as a rite of passage that raises questions about ageing, community, lineage, migration, adversity, and masculinity. In Tid i Rum [Time in Space], he will collaborate with Marco Payer, a choreographer and dramaturgical partner, to explore how material from a previous group residency can be adapted for a single body, and how the cypher can function as a performative space with a single breaker.

Worksharing at UP: Friday, January 22, 1:45–2:30 p.m.

Katrine Leth: Global Deterioration Scale (working title)
“Global Deterioration Scale” (working title) is a solo performance by Katrine Leth that explores a brain afflicted by Alzheimer’s disease and the grief experienced by loved ones. As a loved one of an Alzheimer’s patient, one speaks of being in a protracted state of grief—a strange grief that straddles the future and the present. In the performance, Leth seeks to explore and uncover the traces of grief by incorporating nonsense, video, classical music, and the performance lecture as tools of the performing arts. During the “Time in Space” program, Leth will immerse herself in artistic research and invite relevant conversation partners and collaborators into her workspace.

Teater Flet: My Teacher Poul
We all have teachers, instructors, coaches, or other people who, at various times, have shown us the way. Some see something in us before we do ourselves. Some of them change our lives. Teater Flet will use the “Time in Space” program to explore the influence of role models on us throughout our lives through a nonverbal retro-gymnastics performance. In a generational conversation and a dialogue on personal growth between a former student and a teacher, the roles are reversed to explore the tension between following a teacher and forging one’s own path.

Worksharing on January 28 at 1:45–2:30 p.m.

Giraff Graff: Diaries – After the Fire   
On the night before Great Prayer Day, performance artist Camilla Graff Junior’s studio burned down, and she lost most of her diaries. The fire and the loss of the diaries occurred in the midst of an investigation into memory, during which Camilla Graff Junior had performed her work “Diaries” twelve times in seven countries. The artistic investigation at Tid i Rum will take as its starting point the question: How do we remember?

Marie Kaae: What She Said 
“What She Said” is a dance performance that stems from Marie Kaae’s previous sociological research at La Sorbonne. The performance explores discourses on beauty, their dark sides, and their role in society’s subconscious power dynamics. How does beauty relate to capitalist production and reproduction, and how does inner beauty relate to God and spirituality? Through “Time in Space,” Marie Kaae will continue her work on the piece, which consists of dance and poetry.

Marie Kaae does not participate in work-sharing as part of “Tid i Rum.”

elise reine: Horse 
“Horse” is a concert performance in which the audience is invited into a universe of repetition, a search for a new form of existence, and an ode to the trance of obsession. The performance draws inspiration from Donna Haraway’s A Cyborg Manifesto, in which the cyborg becomes a figure of liberation and escape from society’s constraints, while simultaneously rediscovering and reinventing its existence. In “Horse,” this transformation unfolds through synthesizers and the distorted body.

Inga Gerner Nielsen / In the Mirror of Care Work: Syner Vakt i Støv 
“Syner Vakt i Støv” is a performance installation that explores the future of nursing. Through interactive one-on-one encounters and visual art techniques, the audience receives their first poetic consultation and becomes part of the narrative. In “Tid i Rum,” a conversation scale will be developed to be incorporated into the performance. The work is part of the project “In the Mirror of Care Work,” a long-term collaboration with UCN’s School of Nursing in Hjørring and Thisted.

X-act: POINT ZERO 
After more than 30 years of cross-disciplinary collaboration, the two founders of X-act—composer and musician Sture Ericson and choreographer and dancer Kitt Johnson—are throwing everything up in the air. Without a deadline, a predetermined concept, or a set format, they aim to create space for something new by unlearning ingrained habits and letting go of conventional working methods. Through Time in Space, they will challenge each other in research and idea development in the hope of opening a new chapter.

Gipali Productions: Tracing Echoes 
“Tracing Echoes” is a dance duet choreographed and performed by Giorgia Reitani and Paulína Šmatláková, which physically and emotionally explores how the past shapes us today. The work reflects on growing up in the 1990s in countries marked by strong traditional, religious, and political influences and on moving to a new country, raising questions of identity and belonging. With rising nationalism and social polarization, particularly in countries like Slovakia and Italy, the work gives voice to the internal conflicts that arise when navigating multiple layers of identity.

Worksharing at UP: August 21 

Megaland Theater: Crowd Control 
With the aim of taking silliness very seriously,“Crowd Control” is a lecture-performance observing the formalities of standup comedy, its movement, language and aesthetics. The “Time in Space” program is part of an ongoing research on expanded comedy formats between dramaturg/scenographer Flux Krämer and actor/director Karoline Holland (Megaland).
