the artistic research
Porous Nests is both the name of the artist group, the practice and works they strive to unfold.
Their approach in the workspace is fluid, switching between the roles of performer, director and audience. Just as the preparation of the stage, the show itself and the aftercare all happens in one continuous process, this residency takes place after the group has had a longer break. So the artists' focus is about finding their way back as a group and immersing themselves in the question of what work is and can be, now that a lot has happened in both their personal lives and in the world.
During the residency, they will explore and further develop the methods they have generated over the years. And explore what material and manifestations can emerge from the combination of their shared and individual experiences. They will delve into the installation, choreographic, musical, scenographic and political aspects of the work.
the artists
Porous Nests is a collaboration between choreographers and performers Kat Staub, Peter Scherrebeck and Snorre Elvin.
Drawing on dance, performance and song, they work with porous and mutable spaces through installation and choreographic practice. Living and working in various cities across Europe, including Copenhagen, Berlin, Amsterdam, Vienna, Montpellier and Aarhus, their work spans queer mythologies, hyperreal fiction, drag, intergenerational trauma, choreographic care and collectivity.
Porous Nests is a community for the research and development of choreography and performance, and in addition to their artistic practice, they privately form a self-selected queer family through decades of friendship.
about the format
IN CONNECTION is HAUTs residency format for Danish-based and international artists who want to work internationally.
It gives international performing artists the opportunity for a residency at HAUT and national performing artists the opportunity for a residency at one of HAUT's international partners.
This specific residency is made possible through a collaboration with RAS - Regional arena for contemporary dance in Sandnes and KRA, a co-working space and open community for artists in Stavanger.
