Dreambeam by Bambam Frost (2023)
Dream beam dream team vill bjuda in er att dela rum med dem. Teamet består av en roterande grupp av supermjuka supertaktila super duper troopers, som alla har förmågan att kanalisera och omdirigera kraft genom rörelse. Genom deras kroppsliga system smakar och smälter energi. Energin transformeras till specifika förmågor, kanske till och med superkrafter, med vilka de dansar, flyttar på väggar, mjukar upp hustak, omdirigerar blixtar och mycket mycket annat.
Dream beam är ett koncept som genom performance och film utforskar idéer om vad som kan bli en superkraft och hur en vill röra sig med den kraften. Inspirerad av Octavia Butlers “Parable of the sower” och karaktären Lauren Olaminas hyperempati, vill verket utforska förmågor som vi redan besitter, hur dessa kan fokuseras, förstärkas och användas för att manipulera uppfattningen av kroppen och rummet. English translation of the text is coming.

Lucky numbers
by Stina Nyberg (2021)
In Lucky numbers the dancers get through everyday relationships with warmth and humor. There will be chopped up dance styles and rapid changes - all in a meeting between choreography, textile art and sporty humor to the club's pumping base. A bit like stepping into a world where all the senses become alive.

Untitled (Entitled) by Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyễn (2021)
Nguyễns konst uppmärksammar vår tids konstruktion av identitet och belyser dolda maktstrukturer. I till synes vardagliga händelser och historier visar hon på politisk relevans. Verket Untitled (Entitled) bygger på intervjuer med personer med invandrarbakgrund som känt sig tvingade att byta namn i ett försök att undgå diskriminering. I en textbaserad installation, bestående av rörliga strukturer med lentikulärtryck, visas de medverkandes namn enligt modersmålet, men också deras tagna västerländska namn. Vid ett antal tillfällen under utställningens gång kommer dansare att aktivera installationen i form av en performance, koreograferad av Nguyễn, och som har sitt uruppförande på Bonniers Konsthall. Dansarna rör sig till musik komponerad av enkla fraser som används vid språkinlärning, till exempel ”jag heter”.

Crawling by Natália Rebelo (2021)
Crawling is a performance that investigates the feeling of being seen and followed. Through the insistence of specific movements, stages of repetition are built and form a choreography that has nervousness, compulsions and pleasing games as its foundation. The piece was performed at My wild flag festival at MDT in September 2021
Choreographer: Natália Rebelo.
Performers: Ama Kyei, Heta Asikainen

Skiftet av Johanna Fröjd (2020-2021)
With its origin to the house dance tradition, the dancers create a playful space to explore the importance of a rite in a collective celebration and healing.
If a rite is extinguished in one place, it will occur in another
In the performance Shiftet, the dancers examine what it means to get together, create symbols and celebrate life. By paying attention to details and exploring the power of seductive and sensual grooves, the Shift is about the sanctity of the body and mind as well as being able to transform the dramatic lives of human and the world. The piece was planned to have premier in Decemeber 2020 but is postponed to October 2021. Fanni Ijäs will substitute for Ama at the premier.
