“the cut” begins after something has already ended.

It still vibrates in the air, and the body has not yet returned to regular time. Ecstasy, nausea, satisfaction, playfulness, and confusion linger within us. Something insists. 

Together with composer Niko Ursin, dancers Alexandra Tveit and Marie Ursin explore what kind of space dance and sound can create when the world feels impenetrable and out of reach. Through relational choreography, they create space for sensibility and heightened presence. the cut emerges in the encounter – in a space where dance is not an ornament, but a way of inhabiting the present with intensity and openness. 

It begins with a cut. 

Bio

Alexandra Tveit, Marie Ursin and Niko Ursin work with dance, choreography, and sound as  space-creating and site-specific 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.
