#THREE (A dance after a dance after another dance - 2023)
#THREE is the last iteration of this fall performance series “A dance after a dance after another dance – 2023” and the grand finale of Maison de la danse 2023.
This evening programme will consists of two dance performances that have never been presented live yet: Manifesto 1, a brand new work, and Tilt to Turn, a work that has only been presented online so far.
After the show, the audience is invited to meet and talk with the artists over a buffet. For the ones who want to join the closing party of La Maison de la Danse - Fall 2023, we will offer a surprise practice in the shape of a somatic party warm up and mobile invisible inner rave, to bring us from Ungdomens hus to Brogatan’s dancefloor.
PROGRAMME
Tilt to Turn by Rivet & Frédéric Gies

Tilt to Turn is danced and choreographed by Frédéric Gies, to a live set by Rivet. This performances was originally created for the camera and streamed online in 2021. It was the fruit of an invitation by the Intonal Festival. In 2021, the possibilities of meeting and playing live were uncertain. So Intonal Festival decided to do little guerrilla actions where they would crash various locations around Malmö, without notice or announcement, and just create what they loved. No crowd or anything, just them, the artists and their creativity. To fuel souls while we kept waiting for the world to open up for culture again.
Tilt to Turn was filmed and shared online but had never been shared live… until now! On original music performed by Rivet, Frédéric Gies will dance for the first time Tilt to Turn live.

Manifesto 1 by Frédéric Gies

Manifesto 1 is a new solo danced by Elise Brewer and choreographed by Frédéric Gies, on a music track by Fiedel. It will be part of the upcoming piece “Manifestos: Chiron in Aries, Recital #5 and #6”, which will premiere in the fall 2025 and will be presented at Inkonst. It is part of a series of solos, which in their turn are part of the Chiron in Aries cycle, crafted specifically for the dancers who perform them. In this solo, Elise Brewer’s dance oscillate between fierceness and vulnerability, relentlessness and tenderness.
Since 2020, Frédéric Gies has been working on the 7-piece cycle Chiron in Aries. To that day, 4 pieces have already been created. Chiron in Aries takes for framework the astrology and mythology around the figure of the centaur Chiron, the wounded healer, who can also be seen as a queer mythological figure.

ABOUT OUR GUEST ARTISTS
Rivet
Photo: Dimitrios Bizios
Hinted at by his work as the body music enthusiast behind Kess Kill record label and the years honing his production skills first as Grovskopa and then as Rivet, his current sound has a sophisticated slink and a surprisingly accessible twist of pop, while still recognizable in its dance music lineage.
While the album signaled a change of sound, it also prompted him to premiere his brand new live set at the 2021 edition of Intonal Festival in his hometown of Malmö – alongside the gorgeous spectacle of shibari rope artist Ziggi Willpower – adding another dimension to the Rivet story. He's already known for his wild and borderless DJ sets, where he's played the most hallowed clubs around the world with fierce intentions and rare skill, on more decks than he has hands. He juggles, cuts, drops and chops at an alarming rate, but crucially never to the detriment of overall flow – Rivet is a passionate and driving spirit in the art of mixing, whether it's in service to the sweatiest dancefloors or more thoughtful and experimental in form.

Elise Brewer works as a freelance dancer and is currently based in-between Stockholm and Sätaröd, Sweden. She holds a BA in Dance and Performance from Stockholm University of the Arts (2012-2015).
Her artistic work and practice consists of a hybrid of doing, thinking, reading, writing and discussing and takes shape through collaborations with other artists and through the development of her own projects. Her own work often takes place in public urban spaces where the interest lies in investigating performative aspects of those specific sites to give resonance to the multitude of desires, values and needs that they hold and that could unfold. She is currently studying the post-master course Tusen kulturhus at The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Together with choreographer Sanna Blennow she is part of the duo Brewer & Blennow. Their work often takes place at public libraries.
Elise has ongoing long term collaborations together with choreographer Malin Elgán and choreographer Frédéric Gies.
