Throughout 2025 a group of facilitators and pedagogues working in and with KOMMA have been on exchange with organisations across Europe. They have been learning, sharing and enhancing their skills working with non-professionals, marginalised groups in relation to immigration as well as persons with disabilities. The photo is taken during their visit of La Bolina in Pinos Del Valle, Spain, where they followed the project “The Art of Moving Forward: Migrant Empowerment – Creative Tools for Community Building and Advocating Labour Rights” by organisations La Bolina (Spain), Theatre Pedagogues (Poland) and Lesvos Solidarity (Greece).

What are the political and psychological implications of a body that tries to navigate through complex and potentially overwhelming information? From a shared interest in vocal and physical practices, dancers and choreographers Lisa Colette Bysheim and Max Wallmeier are curious to investigate this question through complex assemblages of tasks. Inspired by Jane Bennett’s texts and speculative fiction, they want to explore possibilities of inhabiting different physical and mental states simultaneously. Working with voice, sound and movement they are curious to navigate the complexity of these layered states and engage in a process of world-building. Composer Matthew Grouse will join the process to explore how the sound of our voices can be moved and transformed in space; to move at the border between explicitness and ambiguity.

Ripe Body
Reumert award 2025

RIPE BODY has been awarded the prestigious Reumert Award for 'Special Performance of the Year 2025'.RIPE BODY is a cross-genre solo dance performance in two parts, RIPE BODY: CARVING and RIPE BODY: RIP IT, that explores how the feminine body and identity is shaped, percieved and expressed – between gaze, lust, power and liberation. In a transparent box with a mirror-clad floor and ceiling, the scenography lifts the dancer up and creates a 360 º piedestal that sets the stage for a sensous, energetic and visually stunning experience which combines intimate physical performance with vibrating electronic music.

with the sense of trust, motivation and responsibility that comes with it. Buckle up Denmark, new waves of choreography are coming for you. Stay tuned”
