Open call for the 3rd Normal Artistic Residency
_ By Matilde Flor Usinger, Nanna Koppel, Josephine Marquard y Ruben R<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

In this week-long residency, we invite a study group to explore accessing and exposing intimacy, acknowledging its inherently subjective nature.
Through a variety of rituals, physical and conversational exercises, we seek not only to explore our own interpretations of intimacy but also to understand how others experience it. By navigating these different perspectives, this residency seeks to challenge patriarchal norms and societal structures in the pursuit of genuine connection.
We invite all kinds of bodies and local artists to join our study group and to challenge the concept of NORMAL<\/strong>And to imagine a practice that extends beyond the residency itself\u2014 Reimagining what NORMAL can be<\/strong>-- ultimately culminating in a body installation the 16th of Nov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Structure<\/strong>
The research begins by exploring our questions, and participants are encouraged to bring their own inquiries via the registration form. The first two days will be dedicated to studying these questions together in an open process. By Wednesday, we will collaborate to find a guiding thread for what our final presentation should embody. The last two days will focus on creating a performance with the studygroup that will be presented at Observatorio on Saturday to share the learning with a small audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule:<\/strong>
de lunes a s\u00e1bado (11-16 de noviembre) de 15 a 21h, esperamos ver a los viejos y nuevos normies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Questions for Exploration:<\/em><\/strong>
What is intimacy?
How do we share it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sub questions<\/strong><\/em>
What about pain?
Is boredom sexy?
What is the opposite of intensity?
How would you feel to have your face skin stretched till it it's becoming something else?
What does a layer cake made out of tongues look like?
How many mouths can suck your fingers at the same time?
Is it possible to experience intimacy with yourself? If so, what does that feel like?
How would you feel to be a gorilla made out of other peoples cum and pubic hair?
How would you feel to have your skull stepped on?
How does it feel to pee on your pants?
How would you feel to step on my skull?
(Feel free to bring your own questions)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we will present the result of \u2018Normal\u2019 through an open exchange\/performance where we will share the learning with a small audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La participaci\u00f3n en el grupo de estudio es gratuita y el grupo ya est\u00e1 completo y cerrado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matilde Flor Usinger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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 Malm\u00f6 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nanna Koppel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s gaze and attention to the reality one experiences, thus moving our perception of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josephine Marquard (DK)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Investigates what lives in the cracks, the unseen, the spaces below the head. Through an interdisciplinary (or perhaps antidisciplinary) practice, she seeks to deconstruct the ways we see and are seen. Informed by her studies at Kaospilot, collaborative arts training at Roskilde University and from two creative writing schools, she invites us to ritualistic spaces where we move beyond the matrix. This is a call upon a new paradigm breathing in the cracks of a post-industrial society. How would society look like if intimacy and sensitivity were the highest values above rationality?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rub\u00e9n R<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rub\u00e9n R is part of the OdP (Observatorio del Placer) team, as well as being a great researcher on the topic of failure. He also continues to study with great devotion the different ways of feeling gratitude in the face of the idea of \u200b\u200bloss and the sensation of being lost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
