Urban development performance that gives plans a body<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Refshale\u00f8en is on the verge of major urban development. Plans and proposals are in their final stages \u2013 and you are invited to step into them as Tora Balslev uses them as a script for six living, sensory explorations of the site\u2019s possible futures.<\/p>\n

Plans can be abstract, but when we walk through them, move within them, play with them, read, write, and tell stories about them, they become something our bodies can feel and understand.<\/p>\n

Each day during Performing Landscapes, Tora invites you on a new journey \u2013 a new action. We borrow the fox\u2019s gaze: cunning and curious, it follows its own routes \u2013 ones that do not always align with human plans.<\/p>\n

With Refshale\u00f8en\u2019s development as a starting point, we cannot avoid asking the larger questions: Who are we building for? What kinds of life will be given space? And can we already sense the future in what is beginning to emerge?<\/p>\n

\"\"ABOUT R\u00c6VSHALE – a three-year woven project<\/strong><\/h5>\n

R\u00c6VSHALE is Tora Balslev\u2019s three-year woven project, exploring Refshale\u00f8en\u2019s past, present, and future through artistic practice. The project unfolds through a series of artistic investigations of the island, continuously shared with the public through performative actions.<\/p>\n

Refshale\u00f8en is a compelling performative site because three different temporalities emerge within its landscape: an iconic industrial past, a culturally diverse present, and the beginnings of large-scale construction projects for the future. This places the island in a fascinating \u201cnow\u201d \u2013 both as a local process of transformation and as a reflection of broader global conditions and questions.<\/p>\n

\"ToraABOUT TORA BALSLEV<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Tora Balslev is a dancer and performance artist. Using the body as her primary tool, she practices strategies of presence. She explores relationships between human and more-than-human bodies through movement-based work connected to questions of existence and perspective. Her works are created over time and form part of an ongoing dialogue with researchers, audiences, students, and various local and social communities.<\/p>\n

In recent years, at Metropolis and Performing Landscapes, Tora has presented the works STOFskifte, stedSANS, Dancing Matter, and Fossil Feel.
