ALONGSIDE RIFTS AND OTHER SHAPES
an audio-zine by NPP2023
The podcast ALONGSIDE RIFTS AND OTHER SHAPES is an audio space and publication made by artists studying in The Master Program New Performative Practices 2021-2023. This audio-zine consists of fourteen individual episodes reflecting a wide range of perspectives on, and from, artistic practice.
The audio-zine invites the audience to listen to and familiarize themself with these artists’ materialities, drawn from a variety of questions, perspectives, ideas and strategies on art and artistic practice. As part of the education, the students within the program were given the task to make a self-interview on their own artistic practice. They started the process by sharing their ongoing questions with each other for inspiration and to enhance a sense of dialogue between the episodes.
The series encapsulates a wide range of questions, such as: What are the roles of aesthetics in experimental social practices? What does a conversation perform in the world? What are the hierarchies between somatic, aesthetic, and theoretic work? Is meeting audience a collaborative moment for you? When do you let go and when do you insist? What can weirdness open up? How do you find connection and belonging? What is your relationship to the center? How does money orient the hierarchies of attention in your work process? What makes you continue? What makes your practice a performative practice? Which aspects of your practice are easy, which ones are difficult to share with others and how? How does artistic practice relate to craft and technique?
ALONGSIDE RIFTS AND OTHER SHAPES revolves around questions, curiosities, explorations, dilemmas, and desires arising from within each artistic practice – practices that have been dwelling and moving side by side over the last two years. The audio-zine may invite the listener to the art practice itself, to an encounter with some aspect of the artist’s world(s), and/or to a conversation about the practice.

25 MAY 2023 · During my first year in the MA New Performative Practices I unconsciously developed a parallel practice while in the bathtub. It began with a desire to speak and be heard (via the voice memo recorder on my phone). I played with language, voice, awareness and acoustics while my body was safely enveloped in heat and weightlessness. Speak-singing to water, in between nonsense and complete sentences, became a way to attend to life. This was not named ’a practice’ until now when trying to describe it in this text. Actually, I am not even sure that this description is necessary to accompany the audio you might chose to listen to, or not. All you really need to know is that it was recorded on Friday 25th of February, 2022, the day after Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Sara Kaaman is a graphic designer and artist working through what publishing as performance can do, drawing from the politics and poetics of publishing as public action. Using a variety of strategies including publication-making by paper and voice, writing, printmaking, drawing and video, she sets up conditions to make language move.

25 MAY 2023 · “I am looking at my body outside the patriarchal gaze. Of course, that is not possible. But who is interested in the possible?” – Kathy Acker re-imagne.
25 MAY 2023 · This episode features Laressa Dickey answering a few questions posed to her by NPP colleague Darya Efrat. She talks about weirdness, aspects of her practice that are difficult to share, as well as the tension between aesthetic and somatic practices.
Laressa Dickey is a dance artist and writer whose recent projects explore the politics of care, the effects of state violence on the human body, and space junk. Her practice is grounded in somatics and draws on research and metaphors related to life science, including embryology, as departure points for artistic questions. Her work spans disciplines and modalities.
25 MAY 2023 · ... is a piece of experimental autobiographical text.By recalling early aesthetic experiences of performing as a child and adolescent and by treating them as choreographic material, I play with the rewriting of my own biography as fictional- fantastic. At the same time this practice explores alternative, distorted approaches to canonical operatic works and their embodied narratives from within.What forms of presence does a past evoke? Curious about the connection between dance and voice, musicality and communication, I work with a practice that includes the dancer's voice as a way of poetic moving - in order to let emerge layers of imagination, feeling, narrative, expressivity and the fantastic.The fantastic idea of a biography that transcends time, gender, place and suggests a multiplicity of selves as proposed in Virginia Woolfs Novel Orlando has become and continues to be a companion, a place to lean towards, draw from, think and move with.The text appears in the performance Mist and Magic – the unfolding of a biographic fantasy in more than one act (presented in the frame of the NPP Presentations 2023)
Voice and edit: Eva Schaller
Composition: Manuel Riegler
Eva-Maria Schaller is a dancer, teacher and choreographer from Vienna where she began her dance training at the Vienna Opera Ballet School, continued her studies at Codarts Rotterdam and currently completes a Master's degree in New Performative Practices at Stockhom University of the Arts. Her choreographic work and practice are based on thourough engagement and experience within the field of dance-heritage and -history, (un-) archiving and the transmission of experiential knowledge in dance. Such include the Solo Vestris 4.0 (2018) in collaboration with composer Matthias Kranebitter/cellist Maiken Beer, and Recalling Her Dance - a choreographic encounter with Hanna Berger (2021), which was shown a.o. at Tanzquartier Wien and the Impulstanz festival; as well as the group piece FEMENINE (2022) in collaboration with the music ensemble Studio Dan. Next to performing and making dances, ways of sharing dance include teaching Countertechnique as well as other open practice-based workshops, as a regular guest at the MUK Music and Arts University Vienna and in dance institutions across Europe. In her ongoing dance practice, she explores the connection between dance and voice as a way of poetic moving - a way to challenge notions of musicality, language and expressivity.

Special thanks to SSFFN- for keeping up and not giving up!
DARYA EFRAT makes performances and installations influenced by space, circus, music, text, glass, wood, clay, and being together with others. Emerging from violent histories and multi-generational migration- the works attempt to reconcile questions concerning identity, gender, and belonging. They are developed mainly in public spaces (but not only) between Jerusalem, New York, Porto, Stockholm, and Zagreb. The practice was nurtured by many people along the way, including at Columbia University in New York – in the visual arts and anthropology departments - and at Stockholm University of the Arts in the New Performative Practices master program.
25 MAY 2023 · Sound traces of a process that comes from, moves through, listens along, touches upon materialities, bodies, practices and places.

25 MAY 2023 · Hello, my name is Sarah Bellugi Klima. I’m a dancer with a long career in the repertoire company Skånes Dansteater in Malmö, where I am currently based. I have also freelanced mildly here and there, especially in the years before I had children. I am currently interested in exploring clown practice, sci-fi ideas as catalysts for movement and the theatre as a social space. For this assignment we were asked to put a few questions each in a common pool and to chose up to three of these questions to respond to through this audio segment. We didn’t know who posted which question.My choice has been to simply answer three of these questions in an somewhat informal musing tone, offering my ideas to you who might enjoy listening to them. Hopefully these ideas can be the source of future conversations and thinkings, for you and/or with others and/or between us, should we ever meet. Please let me know if you have any responses or questions by emailing me at https://student.uniarts.se
• What are the hierarchies between somatic, aesthetic, and theoretic work?
• What is “honesty” on stage? Can you perform honesty? Is it important?
• How can my work be “useful”? What does that mean?

A huge amount of gratitude goes to my dear NPP cohort, who’s feedback, support and interactions have been enriching and life changing, as well as to the lecturers who have accompanied us, sharing their insights and knowledge during these two years together.
The last lines are for my close family: Martin, Frida and Sofia, who have encouraged me to follow my path and supported me throughout. And for my mother, Rebecca, who has spurred me onward with generosity, artistic rigour and playfulness.
25 MAY 2023 · A foot and two hands holding
the sleeping wave
an unseen tremble in heart
I think of this time we are living in now as one of great importance. I think of stories of resistance and the everyday. In my solo practice I have often held fragments of stories in what I do. Silently they have made their marks through my gaze and tensions and flows in my body. I have wanted to see how fragments of stories can come with and meet people in for me new ways.
At this moment of writing, speaking, and dancing, I don't know what form all this will take. Perhaps they will go nesting in gaze and in movements passing through. / Tove Skeidsvoll
This episode of the NPP audiozine allow the listener to be with Tove Skeidsvoll in an everyday situation in her practice and work towards her presentation A place nearby. With her creating A place nearby and this audiozine is musician and composer Johannes Burström, and visual artist and scenographer Sofia Romberg.
In the audiozine, as well as in A place nearby, Tove is dancing with some very small and also great things. Over these last years, playing within a felt sense of our ongoing climate crisis, with its longings for love and justice, this work is continuously gathered and stretched out, re-used, re-forgotten and re-assembled.
Parts of this practice shared in this audiozine is tuning in with and building on from her two years of the Master program New Performative Practices and her practice from being a dancer, choreographer and producer for 20 years. Her works embraces notions of scale, proximity and distance. Curiousness has lead her into working within shifting contexts and roles, collective forms, with architects and designers, music artists and performances for very young audiences and a film practice as an actress and choreographer. Emphasising geographic place and movement in small and big scale has led to different kinds of exchange working with the public space and city scape leading into thoughts of body, movement and being together over species and material.
