Four emerging artistic practices that span from drag to ballroom to whacking to queer death studies are invited into our new joint residency format IN PRACTICE.
For this IN PRACTICE, a new 2-week residency format, we have invited four artistic practices to share the Blackbox for two weeks.
The residency focuses on sharingmethods and giving introductionworkshops to artistic feedback, light design, and creative writing. Invited to work both alone and together, the residency aims to cross-pollinate and nourish the individual practices and further establish them in the Danish performing arts scene.
For this first IN PRACTICE residency, HAUT invited practices that together touch upon crucial questions regarding community, bodily autonomy, self expression and care.
The duo Hjalte Ebsen Andersen and Ida Irma are invited to further continue their inquiry of the connections between psychomotoric therapy and the practices of whacking.
Zutana Hadaddeen, who has danced together with Hjalte and Ida for several years, is invited to dive deeper into the ballroom scene and voguing practices, a scene and practice that form her main community and form of artistic expression.
Carl-Johan Paulsen is invited to delve further into his drag practice, focusing on research into how drag can overlap with visual arts pedagogy, for which he will utilize his drag community and invite them to workshop at HAUT with him.
Rikke Bogetoft, is invited to continue their investigation of funerary rituals and the notion of a queer cemetery as resistance to the erasure of queerness by normative funerary practices.
IN PRACTICE is a NEWRESIDENCYFORMAT meant for both young and self-taught practice-based artists to to share their artistic practices, dreams and methods, while receiving kind, affirming and queer feedback to GROW as ARTISTS.
The residency is co-curated by Qwin Werle from lím collective together with HAUT’s artistic leader Alex Blum on the basis of HAUT’s application round in fall 2025.
