Residency at BORA BORA in Århus - Max Wallmeier

WORK IN PROGRESS - Smooth Oscillator

What are the political and psychological implications of a body that tries to navigate through complex and potentially overwhelming information? From a shared interest in vocal and physical practices, dancers and choreographers Lisa Colette Bysheim and Max Wallmeier are curious to investigate this question through complex assemblages of tasks. Inspired by Jane Bennett’s texts and speculative fiction, they want to explore possibilities of inhabiting different physical and mental states simultaneously. Working with voice, sound and movement they are curious to navigate the complexity of these layered states and engage in a process of world-building. Composer Matthew Grouse will join the process to explore how the sound of our voices can be moved and transformed in space; to move at the border between explicitness and ambiguity.

Reumert 2025 for Ripe Body - Ruth Rebekka Hansen

RIPE BODY is a cross-genre solo dance performance in two parts, RIPE BODY: CARVING and RIPE BODY: RIP IT, that explores how the feminine body and identity is shaped, percieved and expressed – between gaze, lust, power and liberation. In a transparent box with a mirror-clad floor and ceiling, the scenography lifts the dancer up and creates a 360 º piedestal that sets the stage for a sensous, energetic and visually stunning experience which combines intimate physical performance with vibrating electronic music.

RIPE BODY has been awarded the prestigious Reumert Award for 'Special Performance of the Year 2025'.

Work Scholarship for Joana Öhlschläger

A big heartfelt THANK YOU to Statens Kunstfond for the work grant they have granted me last week! I’m taking a moment to look back at all the incredible, loving, challenging and encouraging work situations I have found myself in already this year at Inkonst and Den Danske Scenekunstskole. I also want to shine light at all the amazing artists I am so privileged to work with and that I owe a lot to. And then I am placing my eyes at the horizon and pick up the work towards a future — with the sense of trust, motivation and responsibility that comes with it. Buckle up Denmark, new waves of choreography are coming for you. Stay tuned
