«the cut» begins after something has already ended.

the cut begins in the aftermath — in the remnants of shared histories and fabulated pasts, dance emerges as a point of contact, a relation.

At times generous, attentive and daring, the dancing plays with form, presence and feelings to explore the reciprocities inherent to the act of performing: watching and being seen, dancing with and dancing for. the cut becomes a necessary interruption in the texture of experience. It acts as an invitation to reconsider our engagement to dance and to one another.

The performance is made in the meeting. A space where dance is not an ornament, but a way to exist.

It starts with a cut.

Bio

Alexandra Tveit, Marie Ursin and Niko Ursin work with dance, choreography, and sound as  space-creating  experiences that directly affect the relationships between us, as well as atmospheres and sensory perception. In their practice, they explore fantasies and imaginaries as collective and shared properties, rather than something belonging to the individual. 

As a trio, they created Born Slippy in 2022 – an extensive and immersive total installation spanning five floors at Spriten Kunsthall in Skien, Norway. Through massive textiles, embodied sound, and sensorial states, they challenged the uncomfortably intimate relationship between desire and disgust.
