In the first episode of drift dialogues you hear a non-linear reading of a book Maia and Stina made together when they met in the studio at höjden November 2023. The reading is followed by a discussion some months later where they look back at the activities that led to and landed in the book.

In the first episode of drift dialogues you hear a non-linear reading of a book Maia and Stina made together when they met in the studio at höjden November 2023. The reading is followed by a discussion some months later where they look back at the activities that led to and landed in the book.
Amongst other things Maia invited Stina to join her in scores of listening, talking, writing and moving, adapted from her recent piece ‘fictions, stitched’ with Copenhagen based choreographer Max Wallmeier that was presented at Weld in Stockholm November 2023. Stina shared movement and writing practices, and proposed a performance score that took place around the whole house, adapted from her ongoing process with the Zürich based artist Sophie Germanier.
STINA EHN (SE) works with dance and choreography based in Stockholm. Her work departs from experimental methods where steps and language inform one another and she often works in close collaboration with other artists. Her choreographic work has been presented at places such as Dance Nucleus Singapore, Weld Stockholm, HAUT in Copenhagen and Köttinspektionen in Uppsala. Stina has been a member of höjden studios since 2020 and part of organizing the performance event Kafé Mix since 2022.
MAIA MEANS (NO/DK) is a Stockholm-based freelance dancer who spends time between performance, text and organisational practices. The last years she has worked with choreographers such as Oda Brekke, Sindri Runudde, Björn Säfsten, Ellard/Lech and Mette Ingvartsen. Together with Max Wallmeier, she has created two books and the performance “fictions, stitched” that premiered in 2023. Means is part of running “höjden”, a self-organised space for artists in Stockholm.

drift is a proposal that aims to trace artistic and discursive tendencies moving through höjden studios. It simultaneously constitutes a forum where materials and ideas can transform, resonate or fall apart in the movement of recurring meetings. drift is a record of cacophonies landing slowly over time as artists at höjden studios invite for openings and points of connection.
drift is produced by Oda Brekke and Scott Cazan
