Mist and Magic
the unfolding of a biographic fantasy in more than one act

In Mist and Magic a clump of gold, a dwarf, turbans, a magic flute, drum-sticks and a 400 year old oak tree appear, as pieces of music by Wagner, Mozart, Ravel and others emerge as sedimented artifacts. Mist and Magic attempts to handle one’s own biography in a fantastic-fictional way by recalling early artistic experiences and treating them as choreographic material.

I wonder, can theatre become a place of collective history that includes histories of hierarchies, power and suppression, of pleasure and exhilaration, glorious secrecy, mist and magic?

What forms of presence does a past evoke? Curious about the connection between dance and voice, musicality and communication, I work with a practice that includes the dancer’s voice as a way of poetic moving – in order to let emerge layers of imagination, feeling, narrative, expressivity and the fantastic.

Fueled by an interest in the critical reflection on the notion of classic and specific works of a european canon, I question their function and their possibilities, as I continue writing them, as a freelancer also outside of the institution.

NPP 2023

During two weeks at the end of April and the beginning of May, students of the Master’s program New Performative Practices (NPP) 2023 at SKH share their artistic practices. The ones showing their work at Weld on May 3-7 are Darya Efrat, Valentina Parravicini, Tove Skeidsvoll, Maja Hannisdal and Eva-Maria Schaller.

The students in the New Performative Practices MA program are experienced practitioners from diverse fields. In their education at SKH Dance these performing artists are given context and support to engage with their own histories, refine and develop their research methods, and form sustainable approaches to support ongoing practices in their chosen art field.

The program is research preparatory, which qualifies the student for a Master of Arts in Choreography with a specialisation in Performative Practices. There are currently fourteen students completing their studies at NPP. The sharings will be held at SKH and Weld April 24 – May 7.
