Alba&Linn (Alba Greve & Linn Haldrup Lorenzen) are currently undertaking a 4-month research and development residency working on their new project  Out of The Coffin supported by HIMHERANDIT Productions and Warehouse9. 

From 20th – 26th May, Alba&Linn will be working as Artist-in-Residence in our new workspace in Vanløse, preparing for the public sharing at Genderhouse Festival in Aarhus.

During their overall residency period they have taken a deep dive into the rich and bloody archive of vampire fiction and stories as a queer figure and fantasy. Being other, living at night in a queer temporality, that is hidden and dissolves by day, and an existence only possible through what is deemed immoral by those who fear the vampire, and much more.

The residency is part of HIMHERANDIT Productions (Aarhus) and Warehouse9’s (Copenhagen) new research and development initative Queer Practice. Both organisations have a key interest in ensuring queer artists’ practice is cared for and represented in the greater performing arts landscape in Denmark. This initiative is a first-step in our collaboration and will offer an opportunity to support practice between Aarhus and Copenhagen over a longer period of time.

To date Alba&Linn have shared their work-in-progress in Aarhus at Q&A Studios and Åben Scene, and at Warehouse9’s IPAF festival at Dansekapellet.

On May 30th they will share their work as part of Genderhouse Festival in Aarhus.
