exerce 2024-2026 — M1

— Marina Dubia is alive. She acts (rehearses, operates, makes way) through visual arts, dance, and discourse, committed to the physicality of our shared entanglements and mutual implications. Violence, vitality, and play can be added as key words to her practice. What if love is just a form of organized attention? São Paulo-born and Copenhagen-based, Marina holds an MFA from the School of Conceptual and Contextual Practices at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.  

— Renann Fontoura, from Canoas, Brazil, is a versatile artist deeply rooted in Hiphop culture. With a rich background in dance and performance, he combines urban dance with performing arts. Trained at Fórum Dança, Lisbon, Portugal, he collaborated with renowned Companies like Grupo de Rua (Bruno Beltrão), RAMa (Fabrice Ramalingom) and Kafig (Mourad Merzouki). His original pieces have graced stages like Summer Dance Forever, MAM RJ, and BOCA.
 

— Melisa García Lueches Uruguayan performer, dance maker and dance teacher. Works in the contemporary dance field in collaborative processes for theatre and public spaces. Teaches at the Bachelor in Contemporary Dance in UdelaR and in a public prison. The dialogue between the senses, sensation, imagination and fiction drives their research in the intersections of these different contexts. My practice is also provoked by the curiosity about how we interact and what possibilities does dance present us.
 

— Misty Superdeluxe / Peter Scherrebeck is an artist working in the field of choreography, performance and audiovisual practices. Mistys’ artistic practice intertwines the intimate with the political, and is often situated within para-ontological realms, where ethereal matter holds significance and where fiction intersects with hyperreality. During their choreography study at SNDO, Amsterdam University of the Arts, they undertook an internship with a clairvoyant medium, which sparked their interest in channeling. They began embodying characters and "para-queer" beings from different temporalities. Since then, Misty is dedicated to creating choreographic structures that encapsulate personal and collective memories and their residue.

— Lilla Roma Weisselberg (b. Tel Aviv, 1993)  is a director, choreographer, performer and a designer. She graduated from the ‘School of Visual Theater’ in Jerusalem with honor from the mayor.  In her works, she employs Sisyphean choreographic structures, sound and music materials to craft spaces where illusion alternately reveals and conceals itself. The poetics are rooted in physical skills and courage. Inspired by circus and acrobatics traditions, as well as the darker realms of metal and fatalism, Lilla creates mythical, decadent, disintegrated, and compressed worlds. These worlds offer profound insights into the fragility of humanity. 
 

— Marcella Quinchavil Steen is a Swedish-Chilean dance artist. She holds a First Class Degree BA (Hons) in Contemporary Dance from Laban, UK. Her research explores doing versus being movement to find the ’almost’, movement that is not really what it purports to be. Reflections on common humanity. It is uncertain and incomplete in a faux naïve manner. 
 

— Aryan Zolfaghari is an Iranian choreographer, theatre director, and video artist. He started his artistic career in 2007 as a theatre director and actor. Since 2017, he has choreographed in unusual places such as corridors, university stairs, subway, and dormitories. So urban areas and their architecture became more important in his works.
