Residency: You can make me hole again

April 28 - May 11

Residency
Project: You can make me hole again

Artistic Team: Anna Näsström, Beck Heiberg, Anders Toft Pedersen

You can make me hole again is an investigation of the physicality of holes and of the
relationship between holes and the spatial body by using our
b o d i e s i n h o l e s , by embodying holes, and by being a
hole. We spend our time exploring the meeting of holes
and the whole, and look into our inherent obsession with filling
h o l e s both physically, emotionally and sexually. We are
asking why there is a need to feel complete. Does wholeness
only come from the hole being full? Can the hole and
whole co-exist without erasing one another and can we
be in that w/hole?

 

About The Artists

Beck Heiberg is a choreographer and performer based between Copenhagen and Berlin. He has a BA in Theatre and Performance Studies from Copenhagen University and is furthermore educated at Juste Debout School in Paris, France and Hotstepper Studio in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Beck is investigating queer- and transpolitical aesthetics as both an explicit and implicit part of his praxis. He works in a broad field of theatre and performance, but his own original work derives from building concepts up around movement and is often related to personal experiences.

Beck is a member of Dance Cooperative – a platform and workspace for intersectional feminist and artistic choreographic practices in Copenhagen.

Anna Näsström is a choreographer and danceartist based in Malmö. Her artistic practice unfolds at the intersection of dance, technology, and ethnography – navigating different contexts, movement languages and multimedia or sensory projects. She has a foundation in dance and performance from the University of the Arts in Stockholm and Peridance and BDC in New York.

Her choreographic work is informed by a range of influences including social dance, club culture, street dance, ballroom, and contemporary dance. This shapes her creative processes, which often take on a multidisciplinary character with a norm-critical lens. Anna also holds a BA in Social Anthropology from Stockholm University, with a keen interest in futures thinking and world-building.
