We are delighted to welcome our final residency artists in AFSÆT, Malou and Laura who work under the name, Engholm Danseteater ✨
Engholm Danseteater is a Danish dance company based in Copenhagen, working at the intersection of dance, theatre, and somatic practice. Our vision is to create sensory and relatable performances that offer both performers and audiences a sense of presence and connection.
We explore the cyclical nature of the female body from a choreographic perspective, diving into the body’s internal seasons and biological processes — from the budding energy of the follicular phase to the deep calm of menstruation. We aim to investigate the microscopic life of the body: cells dividing, tissues pulsating, and organic movements that connect us. As a single dancing organism, bodies are woven together, pulled apart, and reformed. Through humor, presence, and bodily poetry, the cyclical rhythm of the womb is brought to life — only to be abruptly interrupted as the familiar cycle is replaced by the emergence of new life.
