Things I did, 2014: Performance-duet for young audience and children at Dansekapellet 2014
Choreographer: Nana Kjær Regner and Ida Frost
Performers: Nana Kjær Regner and Ida Frost
Mentor: Priscilla Lind Rasmussen
The piece evolves around the theme of finding yourself but constantly struggling with the
facets inside you. The two non-gender performers are one person who struggles to find the
capacity to in the end embrace one-self.
If you see from 3.30 min. you can hear the youngster’s and the children's reaction when we
find each other/ourself in the “mirror” and allow the curiosity to dominate for a while.

The dancers were young people with different backgrounds and nationalities. Each had their
own zodiac and together we created the universe Poks Oroh by playing with the abstract
themes:
- Being born from heaven - and discovering a new and unknown world and thereby a
new you
- Take your personal space and power - but being depended on the group
- Community vs. individuality
- Bullying vs. saying no to one person
together with light, costumes and character-work this piece came together.

Ørken-Dessert, 2016
Performance-duet with Taouben Amzourou
The performance involves a text from
Oliver Twist. You can read the text in the
picture
The piece is about restlessness and more wanting more. Working on the paradox;
You will never be satisfied. You will never discover that you already managed to achieve
your destination as you are already in the process of achieving another new and better
destination.

The talking GENDERS Youth Exhibition was the result of a summer intensive creative
process The Talking Gender Youth Project, I together with Dagmara Bilon facilitated in
Århus at Brobjergskolen and Bora Bora. A creative development project that offered 10
young individuals the opportunity for creative workshops, social discussion and presentation
in a professional performing arts venue.
The project featured the explorations and diverse perspectives from a Young person’s point
of view on the discourse of gender, sexuality and identity.
The aim of the exhibition was to bring awareness of how young people today experience
gender?
The pictures above show a piece of our process with writing and drawing among other
things. The next two pictures are examples of an exploration and from two of the participants
to get closer to the final work. The last two ones with the little girl Signe, is the technician’s
daughter, who visited the exhibition and the performance floor. I loved her way of
investigating and experience the pieces and actually enjoying them and allowing herself to
interact with them. I think that is something that could be to brought further in the PUSH
project.
