In 2023 the three founders of KOMMA Performance Productions Lara Ostan, Joana Oschlitzer and Nadja Bounenni, launched the pamphlet titled: 9 to 5. The pamphlet published by KOMMA Performance Productions with HAUT, Copenhagen (DK) and RAS Sandnes (NO).

This pamphlet is a conglomeration of contents that surfaced in the light of the residency “IN PROCESS – Self-organising” organised by HAUT and RAS (Regional Arena for Samtidsdans) for which we (Joana Öhlschläger, Nadja Bounenni and Lara Vejrup Ostan) were selected and traveled to Sandnes, Norway in February 2023. During the one week residency titled “The other time plan”, we spent time engaging with imaginaries around possible and impossible contemporary dance futures, self-production and its manifestation through dance. We held conversations in motion, processing hard questions, questions with no answers and speculations. We created maps of the future and past, breaking down the physical footprint of production in our bodies and our artistic practices.
