One self in between. LIMBO ME unfolds as a shifting landscape of roles – blurring into each other, colliding, dissolving, reforming. It is an intimate dialogue between self and other, between impulse and form, between distance and intimacy, acceptance and refusal. One self in a liminal space, neither here nor there, neither in the past nor in the future. One self in a liminal state – identity, roles, and meaning are in flux, composition is never fixed, is always forming. Moving through this uncertainty, in the wobbly state of becoming, questioning, changing and transforming – where choices echo, contradict and undo themselves. Here and now is blurred with memory, the unsaid and what has yet not come. Presence becomes layered, fractured, and whole all at once, a precarious in – betweenness. Limbo is also a purgatory, a passage, a restless waiting, a torment of transition, of neither being lost nor found. Wrestling with the struggle, with the impossibility of arrival and with the weight of movement that never quite resolves, the work lives in this precarious state, where every shift is both collapse and recovery and the body that is both subject and witness.

ANNA APERGI
Anna Apergi is a dance artist whose projects explore the fields of dance, performance and site specific. In her practice she explores the agency of the artist in relation to the multiplicity of roles they carry and she is interested in creating common grounds on which different practices can land and collaborate. Her work cultivates an ethos of flexibility and responsiveness to the immediate environment, embracing the unpredictability of the processes, allowing structures to be stretched and transformed. She creates and presents her own work, while also collaborating with other choreographers, musicians, visual artists and film-makers. Anna is currently based in Stockholm pursuing her Master in Choreography with specialization in New Performative Practices at Stockholm University of the Arts.

NPP 2025
During two weeks in May, students at the Master’s Programme New Performative Practices (NPP) invite you to take part of thirteen presentations of artistic practice. You are welcome to participate, witness, watch, listen, share, and sometimes intimately engage with these artists’ curiosities and performative explorations in venues throughout Stockholm 6–18 May 2025.

In the presentation each of the thirteen artists proposes a specific way of inhabiting and unveiling the artistic practice with which they are currently engaged. In these encounters, audiences can expect a wide range of approaches to sharing their practice through formats spanning from staged to non staged performances, performance installations, participatory performances, publishing or other objects and situations as sites for performative investigations.

Students on the MA program New Performative Practices are experienced practitioners from different fields. In their education at SKH Dance, these performing artists are given the context and support to delve into their own histories, refine and develop their research methods and shape sustainable approaches to support ongoing practices in their chosen field of art. The program is research preparatory, qualifying the student for a Master’s degree in Choreography with a focus on performative practices.

Weld is one of this year’s hosts and here you will meet Anna Biczok, Zhana Pencheva, Anna Apergi, Vincent Jonsson and Martin Sieweke.
