WHAT’S KEEPING ME BUSY RIGHT NOW
WHAT’S KEEPING ME BUSY RIGHT NOW / CHOREOGRAPHY IN ACTION
Dansehallerne invites three young choreographers / dancers to this CHOREOGRAPHY IN ACTION. Meet Charlie Laban Trier, Meleat Fredriksson and Snorre Jeppe Hansen as they will talk about their artistic work and what they are up to at the moment.
Charlie Laban Trier
is a dance-maker and performer, (1987 CPH/DK), based primarily in Amsterdam. He graduated (2018) from SNDO – Bachelor in Choreography. One of the focuses of his work, is studying how to embody and learn from methods of already existing performance practices that plays with turning the gaze inside-out and that aims on enhancing space for bodies corrupted by different oppressive structures. Being in different queer scenes and living as a transgender-person, has also influenced his thinking and approach to work. In the recent year he has worked for artists such as Paul Maheke (LND), Beck Heiberg (CPH), Michele Rizzo (AMS/IT), Noha Ramadan (AMS), Keren Levi (AMS), Phoebe Osborne (NYC/AMS), Andreas Hannes (AMS). He has since 2015 worked for and with Italian choreographer Cristina Kristal Rizzo. They are currently creating an upcoming piece together (working title: Hypernating) that will premiere in 2020.

Meleat Fredriksson
is a dancer and choreographer, educated from The Danish National School of Performing Arts in Copenhagen. Since graduating in 2015 she has been part of danseatelier: a studio-collective consisting of 11 dance artists working with creating continuity within the freelance world and explore art making, sharing and hosting – using multiple hierarchies. Meleat’s work often springs out of and features improvisation, rhythm and attitude. She is currently tuning into and questioning how her blackness is connected to her artwork. On the mission to duck imposed white values, standards and affirmation she wonders what happens when she places her whole (intersectional) self at the core of the research? Meleat’s work has been shown in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Hong Kong at festivals such as My Wild Flag 2019, Gothenburg Dance and Theatre Festival 2018, TheCarrierBag Festival 2016, Hong Kong International Choreography Festival 2016.

Snorre Jeppe Hansen
is a dancer and choreographer based in between Copenhagen and Berlin. In 2015 he graduated from the dance and choreography program at The Danish National School of Performing arts. As a part of the collective Danseatelier he works with supportive structures and togetherness as a way of allowing dance to exist. He works with dance as a place of listening, allowing and becoming – dance as a way of being in worlds and as a way of being with the places in between the defined. More info here.
