2025 Projects
Boys Just Want To Have Fun A durational multi-disciplinary dance-performance-art piece of 8 hours presenting in white exhibition/gallery spaces. The work explores the deconstruction of masculinity and challenges taboos surrounding male sensuality and sexuality within mainstream Western culture. This performative act is a durational score, a chain of solos which also includes moments of interaction amongst the performers with a cast of six male presenting and identifying artists. In 2025, Boys Just Want To Have Fun was presented in Sweden, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, and Georgia. This European tour was made possible with the support of Perform Europe. More info here
A Moment of Endlessness
Initially performed within the Dancing Histor(y)ies project – a large European Cooperation project looking at the meeting between contemporary dance and archeological and heritage sites. In 2025, A Moment of Endlessness presented in Castel Sant’Angelo (Rome, Italy), Viminacium Archaeological Park (Viminacium, Serbia), The Temple of Diana (Mérida, Spain), Nora Archaeological Park (Sardinia, Italy), and Gathenhielmska huset (Gothenburg, Sweden).
A Moment of Endlessness reflects on how stories and histories, both distant and near, gain or lose meaning, depending on the contexts in which they are reiterated. Incorporating ancient texts by Hayim Nahman Bialik and Kohelet (Ecclesiastes), it explores senses and sensations of time and how it can be pulled, morphed, and transformed through relations and relationships.
