SODA WORKS 2018
The SODA (Solo/Dance/Authorship) class of 2018 have compiled this publication to contain selected content from their individual thesis projects. These projects each consisted of a live performance - presented in December 2017, at the Uferstudios in Berlin - an artist work book, as a document of the creative process and a written essay, each explicating areas of independent research. It is the aim of this publication to present a selection of this material for public dissemination. The publication can be read in two directions: vertically as well as horizontally. You can choose from which perspective you would like to start. You can read the book from the beginning till the end and after that start again, this time reading from a different angle, or you can simply make fast changes, jumping from horizontal to vertical, from vertical to horizontal. It is just a matter of adjusting the object to your choices. The amount of changes is limitless.

A Very Unique Gift<br />
Something sticky is stuck<br />
l<br />
She once told me:<br />
“I often dream of the endless party<br />
The one where everyone gets caught in a trance<br />
And you wonder if you are the only one who feels like leaving<br />
You know what I mean?<br />
And the more you feel like leaving, the more it feels like a repetitive torture<br />
to stay<br />
Like... Marguerite with the devil!<br />
Or eating bar-food for dinner<br />
The sensation of forced containment…<br />
To avoid getting kicked out of The Society<br />
Dancing like chewing gum<br />
And singing like it’s the only thing to do<br />
There is an idiotic, dark cabaret<br />
And a cinematographic sliding diva<br />
A frame around conversations...<br />
A word above the absence of sight.<br />
And elevator music, gently whispering.”
