_ Residency July 8-12, 2024
_ INTRA(STING) Body Installation _ July 13
¿Cómo nos relacionamos a través de la vergüenza?
¿Cómo nos relacionamos a través de la intimidad?
¿Puedes imaginar la intimidad sin vergüenza?
¿Cómo se ve la vergüenza con confianza?
¿Está la intimidad conectada de alguna manera con el santuario?
¿Es posible experimentar la intimidad con unx mismx? Si es así, ¿cómo se ve y se siente esa experiencia?
¿De qué maneras podemos permitir y descubrir la intimidad en constelaciones que van más allá del concepto de dos?
Para finalizar la residencia artística ‘New Normal‘ se realizó la presentación a través de un intercambio/actuación abierta.
Matilde Flor Usinger
Matilde Flor Usinger grew up in a circus environment in Copenhagen, Denmark. After many years of training in gymnastics, she sought a freer form of physical expression, leading her to pursue a career in dance and performance. She received her foundational training at Nya Malmö Latin and then completed three years of professional dance training at Balance1 in Berlin. Matilde has showcased various group and solo works at Berlin's Sophiensaele, Uferstudios, and ada-studios, as well as participated in various interdisciplinary site-specific performances.
Her journey into the exploration of movement and performance continues as she develops collaborative projects. Currently, she is collaborating with actress Nanna Finding Koppel on the Danish Arts Foundation funded project HEJ FAR, all while creating and curating in MF Studio.
Matilde aims to embody academic intersectional feminism, challenging societal structures. She integrates knowledge into the body, exploring themes such as sexuality, feminism, world order, gender, and white body supremacy. Her focus extends to the exploration of intimacy, connecting with others on emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual levels. She believes that embracing vulnerability empowers deeper, authentic connections, enhancing personal growth and relationships.

Nanna Koppel
Is an actor and interdisciplinary performer. They explore the intersection between video recordings and performance, between body and technology, to interpret the body as a vessel where contradictions and opposing truths intertwine and coexist. Contradictions cannot be resolved within the realities that gave rise to them. Resolving contradictions demands a change or shift in perspective or reality. Their aim is to find political and activist potential in resolving external conflicts within the body and use video to question one’s gaze and attention to the reality one experiences, thus moving our perception of the world.
