Memphis, Tennessee (2017) is a performance by Naya Moll, Anna Lea Ourø and Amalia Kasakove. The performance is formed by conversations on intimacy, dance pasts, friends hanging out, feminist theory and the idea of giving consent to the dance. The performance lays out a horizontal dramaturgy of repetitive dances to electronic pop music. It works on the expectations of resolution, action and effectivity, and questions what is being categorized as unsubstantial and what is considered powerful. The performance enters liminal, unconscious spaces to find other languages than the major; it wants to let grandness and epic moments exist while being inbetween definition. Our approach to feminist dramaturgy seeks for other climatic structures, those not oriented towards orgasmic peaks, but are made of seemingly endless planes that fluctuate like sand dunes.

"Hypna" is a continuation of the work Memphis, Tennessee, and this new iteration of the work considers what we bring back from memory and the ways in which dance can give itself to view.
