Welcome to an evening with New Sh*t Vol. 8
We have the pleasure of having the Greek/Tunesian dancer, choreographer, and producer Nadja Bounenni as guest curator. Nadja Bounenni has created a program with selected choreographers she believes to be new and urgent in the choreographic scene.
Nadja Bounenni about the curation:
“New Sh*t Vol. 8 is celebrating dance. This curation is a composition of three dance pieces, different from each other in style and format. We’ll be witnessing artists who use physical dance as their main tool for choreography, reminding us of what the power and magic of dance can do. Soundscapes are co-creating in the space as a foundation for the dance to appear. The works are inviting to be experienced with an open heart, allowing them to move us or make us want to move.”

tveyeini (two-alone) by RIVA The Faroese Dance Company; Rannvá G. Niclasen & Vár B. Árting
Two bodies entwined in movement on a journey through fragments of memories.
Memories, whether preserved or suppressed, stay in our bodies, and leave behind marks. As we physically change our memories change with us. Reminiscing about good times; trying to make sense of blurry occurrences gone by in an intoxicated state; wanting to latch onto the memory or trying to run away from it. tveyeini is a journey through a series of memory fragments to embody and depict them through movement. The works deal with themes of yearning, longing, and the intimacy between two bodies on stage and the emotional interplay between the two.
Through a juxtaposition of pedestrian body language, and abstract and performative movements the sense of reality is distorted, and a new universe is shaped, reflecting the emotional spectrum connected to the themes. The frame for the soundscape is Klingra’s new album “…eftir”.
Rannvá G. Niclasen and Vár B. Árting are the artistic directors of RIVA the Faroese Dance Company. Together they have developed an artistic practice that focuses on making work and facilitating projects relevant in the context of establishing a professional dance environment in the Faroe Islands.

SPEEED (film)
Parini Secondo x Bienoise
SPEEED is a choreographic and musical project inspired by the Para Para and Eurobeat phenomenon that spread in the 90s in Tokyo clubs. SPEEED is a work of camouflage because it faithfully copies its source of inspiration: a 160 bpm slap stimulates you to act, and launches you in the middle of a centrifuge of pure and unadulterated enthusiasm where tuning cars play very loud Eurobeat music.
Parini Secondo was founded in 2017 by Sissj Bassani and Martina Piazzi involving Camilla Neri and Francesca Pizzagalli. The collective works on movement starting from different and unpredictable sources, questioning the limits of authorship and up-to-dateism. With an ecological and ready-made act, the group remixes other people’s ideas and choreographic materials taken from the online world, often in the form of tutorials, assembling choreographies through sampling. Parini exploits and supports the potential of open source and DIY [do-it-yourself] ethic/aesthetic. From 2019 the collective collaborates with the musician, teacher, and producer Alberto Ricca/Bienoise who is present in projects i (2019), ROCCO (2019), SPEEED (2020) – and be me (2021). Parini’s latest research project, do-around-theworld, deals with rope skipping and children’s playful rhythmic practices as cultural and musical identifiable elements of her female background. The collective has participated in several festivals and events in Italy and abroad.

The works and artists
SOFT BLAST
Elli Virtanen
SOFT BLAST is an immersive exploration that delves into the intersection of sound design, body movement, and social commentary within the music industry. This captivating performance challenges traditional norms by inviting participants to embrace the oppositional forces of heavy, strong spaces through dynamic movements and evocative soundscapes.
Led by the guiding principles of choice and impetus, SOFT BLAST celebrates the fluidity of stage femme while confronting stereotypes and glass ceilings prevalent in the music industry. Voices move through the space, weaving a narrative that transcends boundaries and fosters connection among performer and audience members alike.
Elli Virtanen (she/her) is a Copenhagen/Helsinki-based dance artist who will graduate from The Danish National School of Performing Arts this spring 2024. Along with her studies, Elli has worked in the free field of contemporary dance as a dancer and performer with varying ensembles and choreographers. Most recently, she has performed in Pori Dance Company’s and Amos Rex’s “Generation 2023” productions. She is interested in connecting sound design to dance and choreography and works with music production on the side.

About the guest curator
Nadja Bounenni
Nadja Bounenni (she/her) is a dancer, choreographer and producer from Greece/ Tunisia based in Copenhagen. Her artistic interest lies in political debates of our times and notions of reality and fiction. Her artistic practice emerges from somatic principles and rituals, based on energy conservation and zero resistance working modes. The performative universes she creates, are somewhat wacky, eccentric, and quirky, always proposing a relaxed and sensuous audiencing, where the individual interpretation of the experience is encouraged. She is a co-founder of KOMMA Performance Productions, an association running from and for self-producing artists towards crafting sustainable models for artistic work within the field of dance and choreography.
