About each showing

Eva Streit
The precarious act of crawling into a bag. This installa:on gives an insight into the current status of my research that revolves around the performativity of objects, textiles as archivesand holder of stories, and a longing for community in increasingly dystopian times. You can join the installation anytime during the timeslots.

Maryam Hashempour
The presentation will include a try-out of part of the autobiographical performance I am working on. This project is my attempt to revisit my identity documents during my migration to Sweden and to unpack aspects of living in exile.

Sall Lam Toro
As part of my conceptualization of body hacking practice, I invite you into a space ofeye_*scrutiny*. It is both a ritual space and one for conversation on addressing a currentstate of hijacked selves. www.bodyhacker.love

Jurrien van Rheenen
For several years, I've been working on the changes in the Dutch welfare system. Last year, I started researching welfare policies in Sweden, collaborating with Swedish performers. We spoke with different people and visited different places. In the past few weeks, I've been exploring ways to stage some aspects of this material, focusing on a specific policy related to homelessness.

Laura Stasane
With autobiographical anecdotes of human-animal encounters as a star:ng point, I have been probing into our (disappearing) connection to nature and everything else alive around us, and ques:oning the stories we tell ourselves. This work continues my research into ways to address environmental crisis and my interest to unfold narra:ves through visual means where humans, objects and elements interact equally.

Zsofia Rebeka Kozma
I'm creating coming from the feeling of grief, anger and injustice. It will be raw, honest and personal and most likely will include some gentle audience interaction. I can't tell you more yet but looking forward to seeing you at the work-in-progress showing.

Filip Pawlak
In this exploration, I try to find my own catalogue of gestures and movements that could characterise a crippled practice. I try to weave documentary and fiction evenly into my story, to activate anger and expressiveness, and to consider with the audience what promise does disability hold on stage?

Monirah Hashemi
"As The Stars Fall" is a one-woman performance. In this piece which is a work in progress I reenact situations and fragments of suppressed memories, aim to explore themes of oppression, silence, and resistance, survival, identity, and the quest for freedom. Through this intimate show, I invite audiences into a world of interconnected narratives.

Dina Gordon
I am further exploring my interest in archetypical characters and the narratives they unknowingly reveal about society and our personal desires. This through the consistently re-emerging theme of self-improvement. The YouTube channel dwelling, self-published authorand breath-work personage is here to hold a workshop again.
