August 2023
We have the pleasure of having Escarleth Romo Pozo as guest curator of this edition New Sh*t Vol. 7. Here is how Escarleth presents the curation:
Gestures of love (desire and contemplation) Sensuality and soft tension. Sensuality as something elastic, tensile, that washes away the border between giver and receiver. Super subtle. Desire not as static, one sided, or binary. Sensuality as multifaceted, multidimensional and as a ceaseless force and tool for listening and sharing spaces. Desire as a soft malleable matter, as boundless resistance that we rest in rather than chase.To linger in sensation while opening up accessibility to multiple layers of being in tune with yourself, the space and others beyond a hegemonic ‘common sense.’
How I chose the works
I could compare the experiencing of powerful works as the process of falling in love. It pushes you out of your comfort zone and it is not only about what you see in front of you, but how it is making you aware of what is going on inside of you. All the light as well as dark places. A sensation that reminds you of your corners and edges, and the possibility of letting worlds pass through you. You might not like that feeling of loosing control that yielding into that kind of falling is, but if you allow it to, it moves you. And thus it shifts how you are with the world and maybe, even gives you a glimpse of other ones.

The word Lounge is both a verb and a noun: an action of sitting or lying in a relaxed way or a public room where people may relax. This dual nature of resting is at the heart of this duet for two female-identifying bodies. Together they move through states of active and passive rest, using each other’s presence to go deeper into themselves and the vibe. Permeating the piece is the notion of the invisible lap dance, consisting of small, nearly imperceptible dances that use the gaze to blur the borders between the giver and receiver. By relying on erotics and building togetherness, Lounge taps into the comfort of rest as an active claim of womanhood.

Part of New Sh*t Vol. 7 in the program Dansehallerne x Betty
- Presented by Dansehallerne and Betty Nansen Theater
Marga Alfeirão (Portugal) uses dance and performance to carve spaces for the exploration of intimacy and sexuality. Heavily influenced by dance genres and sound textures from the African diaspora disseminated through Lisbon’s social tissue, she attempts an active claim of womanhood, making room for lesbian sensualities.
In 2023 Marga premiered LOUNGE at TanzTage, a lap dance duet.
Last year with Camila Malenchini, they premiered Wet Eyez, a work on
emotional bodies and fantasy. Marga performs for Tamara Alegre. Marga is active in the Portuguese Ballroom scene as a founding member of the Casa das Musas. In Berlin, Marga started COYOTE PRETTY UGLY, an act to entertain the lesbian queer evenings of the city. Graduating from HZT’s BA in dance and choreography in Berlin (2017-21), Marga initiated Lapdances to Ringtones and Lullabies, research on erotics and rest. Together with her collaborator Camila Malenchini, they are developing a new work on horror, paralysis, womanhood, and myth to premiere in 2024.

The multimedia live performance installation piece unfolds an everyday performative practice of black queer erotic consciousness through rituals, phantasmagoria, and archiving as embodied care practices.
Two sculptures of obsidian raw stone companions ignite an autoerotic desire and contemplation. The sculptures are further combined with animated objects and poetic visuals on film regarding ghostly presences, rebirths of self, and caring bodily interviews conducted in Dakar, Senegal. The performers draw symbols in their movements repeatedly, backwards, attempting to trigger echoes of remembrance, active mourning and (re)birth within atemporal, multidimensional timelines. The work schemes connections between altered forms of fugitivity, the shapeshifter body, and nature enacting spaces in which “separability becomes dissolved” (Da Silva, Denise) in non-linear time. Imagination is called upon as a love gesture guiding us into remembrance.

Curator Escarleth Romo Pozo will right after the performances invite the artists back on stage and have a small talk where the audiences will get more knowledge about their work and their practices.
After the performance program and talk we invite you back in the foyer where DJ Shaka Lion will be playing.
Luso-Brazilian DJ Shaka Lion is the perfect demonstration of an outside look at the internationalism of dub - outernationalism - a Brazilian who grew up in Barreiro. the itinerary of his sets is always pinpointed with classic references, reframed in contemporary edits or remixes. In addition to his dub way, we hear emotional soul, hip hop, stargazing jazz brazilian grooves and global club beats. He connects musical worlds from his ancestry and upbringing with cities like Paris, London and Berlin.
Photo Christian BremsEscarleth Romo Pozo is a performer and maker. She was born in Managua, Nicaragua and has been living and working in Sweden, The UK, Belgium, Switzerland and currently Denmark. She has been freelancing across Europe for this last decade and is currently attentive to how the social world could be engaged in processes of deand re-contextualizing the world that we inhabit and that inhabits us, not believing and remaining in already existing essentialisms. Requiring imagination which bears with the unknown and takes our relational interdependency into account. A speculative attitude and pleasure in engaging in that which we still not know of. Unravel the invisible forces that bring us together or make us fall apart.
Since New Sh*t was launched in 2020 the popular platform has been happening twice yearly.
With the recurring format New Sh*t, Dansehallerne checks in with what’s new in the choreographic landscape. For each edition of New Sh*t, a younger guest curator is invited. We launch the artists in the program of New Shit Vol. 7 in the second week of August.
New Sh*t Vol. 7 is part of the program Dansehallerne x Betty and is presented in collaboration between Dansehallerne and Betty Nansen Teatret.

Vi har fornøjelsen af at have Escarleth Romo Pozo som gæstekurator for New Sh*t Vol. 7.
Escarleth præsenterer her kurateringen:
Kærlighedsgestus (begær og betragtning)
Sensualitet og blid spænding. Sensualitet som noget elastisk, strækbart, der udvisker grænsen mellem giver og modtager. Super subtilt. Begær, ikke som statisk, ensidigt eller binært. Sensualitet som mangefacetteret, multidimensionel og som en uophørlig kraft og værktøj til at lytte og dele rum via. Begær som en blød formbar substans, som grænseløs modstand, som vi hviler i, fremfor at forfølge. At dvæle i fornemmelsen samtidig med at åbne op for tilgængelighed til flere lag af at være i harmoni med sig selv, rummet og andre ud over en hegemonisk ‘sund fornuft’.
Hvordan jeg valgte værkerne Jeg kan sammenligne oplevelsen af kraftfulde værker med processen med at forelske sig. Det skubber dig ud af din komfortzone, og det handler ikke kun om, hvad du ser foran dig, men hvordan det gør dig opmærksom på, hvad der foregår inde i dig. Al lyset såvel som de mørke steder. En fornemmelse, der minder dig om dine hjørner og kanter og muligheden for at lade verdener passere gennem dig. Du kan måske ikke lide den følelse af at miste kontrol, som det er at læne sig ind i at falde, men hvis du tillader det, bevæger det dig. Og dermed ændrer det, hvordan du er i verden, og måske giver det dig endda et glimt af andre verdener.

En duet, men ikke kun mellem to dansere: Marga Alfeirãos LOUNGE er et sted, hvor modsætninger – bevægelse og hvile, at give og modtage, det private og det offentlige – mødes og smelter sammen i et forbigående rum, der ikke er styret af hektiske kommen og gåen, men af møder og tilbagevenden.
Ordet “Lounge” er både et udsagnsord og et navneord: en handling med at sidde eller ligge på en afslappet måde eller et offentligt rum, hvor folk kan slappe af. Denne dobbeltsidighed af hvile er hjertet i dette duet for to kvindelige kroppe. Sammen bevæger de sig gennem tilstande af aktiv og passiv hvile og bruger hinandens tilstedeværelse til at gå dybere ind i sig selv og stemningen.
Alfeirão, som i sit arbejde er stærkt påvirket af dansene og lydene fra den afrikanske diaspora, forstår afslapning – lounging – som en måde at genvinde kvindelig erotik og har skabt en koreografi med hypnotisk omsorg og skønhed.
29.08.23 / 20:00 at Anneksscenen EDISON
En del af New Shi*t Vol. 7 programmet Dansehallerne x Betty
- Præsenteret af Dansehallerne og Betty Nansen Teater
Marga Alfeirão (Portugal, 1994) bruger dans og performance til at skabe rum til udforskning af intimitet og seksualitet.
Stærkt påvirket af dansegenrer og lydteksturer fra den afrikanske diaspora spredt gennem Lisabons sociale væv, skaber Marga en aktiv påstand om kvindelighed,
hvilket giver plads til lesbiske sanseligheder. I 2023 havde Marga premiere på LOUNGE på TanzTage. Marga er aktiv på den portugisiske ballroomscene som et stiftende medlem af Casa das Musas.
I Berlin startede Marga COYOTE PRETTY UGLY rettet mod byens lesbiske queer-aftener. Marga er uddannet fra HZT’s BA i dans og koreografi i Berlin (201721).

Et multimedie installationsperformance, der gennem sanselige ritualer og fantasmagoria udfolder en performativ praksis af sort queer erotisk bevidsthed.
To skulpturer af rå obsidian sten antænder et autoerotisk begær og reflektion. Skulpturerne er yderligere kombineret med animerede objekter og poetiske visuals på film om spøgelsesagtige tilstedeværelse, genfødsler af selvet og omsorgsfulde kropslige interviews
udført i Dakar, Senegal.

vil i forlængelse af forestillingerne invitere kunstnerne tilbage på scenen til en samtale, hvor publikum får mere viden om deres arbejde og deres praksis.
Efter forestillingsprogrammet og talk spiller DJ Shaka Lion i foyeren.
Luso-brasiliansk DJ Shaka Lion er den perfekte demonstration af et udenlandsk syn på dubbens internationalisme – outernationalisme.
Udover hans dub-måde hører vi følelsesfuld soul, hip hop, jazz, brasilianske grooves og globale klubbeats. Han forbinder musikalske verdener fra sin afstemning og opvækst med byer som Paris, London og Berlin

Kræver fantasi, der bærer det ukendte og tager hensyn til vores relationelle afhængighed. En spekulativ holdning og fornøjelse ved at engagere sig i det, vi stadig ikke kender til. Afdække de usynlige kræfter, der bringer os sammen eller får os til at falde fra hinanden.
Siden Dansehallerne lancerede New Sh*t i 2020, har den populære platform fundet sted to gange årligt.
Dansehallerne ind med, hvad der er nyt i det koreografiske landskab. Til hver udgave af New Sh*t inviteres en yngre gæstekurator til at sammensætte et program med koreografer, som kuratoren mener er morgendagens kunstnere!
Vol. 7 indgår som en del af programmet Dansehallerne x Betty og præsenteres i samarbejde mellem Dansehallerne og Betty Nansen Teatret på Edison-scenen 29. august – 7. september 2023.
