On November 18 and 19, Maison de la Danse’s doors are wide open!

During the two days of Maison Ouverte, not only we open our doors to you and invite you to dive into our work from different angles (watching us perform for you, dancing with us or watching us rehearse) but we also open our doors to other artists, whose work you will be able to witness as well. For the first edition of Maison Ouverte, we invite Malmö based Anna Söderberg, Elise Brewer, who is also part of Dance is ancient’s team and Anna Pehrson, who is currently in residence at MARC. On day 2, we will also have the pleasure to welcome Ulf Eriksson, in collaboration with Kontra Musik, who will DJ for our technosomatics session.

You are free to make your own programme, come whenever and come and go as you wish (please not that for the technosomatics session, doors will close after the start of the workshop). If you choose to stay for long: there will be some snacks!

DETAILED PROGRAMME
Day 1: Saturday Nov. 18
14.00 · Open training with Dance is ancient’s team: Frédéric Gies will give a dance class, open to all levels (even if you don’t have any dance practice, that is possible), which combines a technique class (with a couple of ballet elements) and a somatic approach of movement. It is all about developing bodily awareness, effortlessness and ease in movement, not about looking good in relation to an impossible ideal.
15.00 · Open rehearsals : Dance is ancient’s team invites you to witness their rehearsal process and dive into the meticulous work of preparing for showing a dance to a public.
16.00 · Dance is ancient dances Dance is ancient’s dances #1 : We have compiled for you a programme of dances from our repertoire, which we will present in their original form or remix in unexpected way. It will be a different programme of dances each time we will do it during the weekend. Except voluptuous, bold and queer dances, to infectious techno beats!
Dances choreographed by Frédéric Gies / Danced by Elise Brewer, Disa Krosness and Frédéric Gies / Music: Fiedel / Costumes: Grzegorz Matlag
16.30 · Anna Pehrsson presents Excavation Series I : In the first part of three, Excavation Series I, Choreographer and Dancer Anna Pehrsson, sources movement as mass – hot liquid rock lurking around the corner – a comet’s tail blasting through the skies – or a thin layer of evaporated water reaching the pores. Choreography and Dance: Anna Pehrsson / Music: Alva Noto
17.30 · Elise Brewer presents You might plant a rose bush under your bedroom window : You might plant a rose bush under your bedroom window is a walk through the landscape of bushes and railway tracks. A sequence of desires and needs unfolding alongside the trail. A dance of repetitive riffs that hits tenderly. Dance & choreography: Elise Brewer

19.00 · Alma Södeberg presents New Old: “In the new old solo New Old I develop a solo performance of around 50 mins length where I sit on a chair and think through rhythm, voice and movement. The practice is that of listening to sounds synthesizing; forming words with the help of hand and body gestures, creating thoughts, evolving into sounds again, becoming music, becoming dance, becoming thought that once again becomes dance. There is, for once, a theme in the work which is not formal, as it has mostly been in my previous works. I would say it is rather personal, on the verge, if not already way over the edge, private. I am finding myself thinking about an aging post-natal body and more specifically the pelvic floor. This thinking moves in and out of internal and external spaces, shoots through the roof with vectors of high hissing sounds and lands in melodic phrases that float above the heads of the audience. In the performance there will be a degree of the improvised, hoping to leave space for new thoughts to appear on the meeting between myself and each specific audience.” – Alma Södeberg
