rehearsal image from "nothing personal, just everything" by Mieke Ulfig. In a studio with white walls and wood floors, a black and white video is projected on the rear wall. A long mirror leans against the wall, next to a light sculpture. Objects are arranged on the floor in neat rows. One performer lays on the floor, her legs resting on a chair. Another kneels, facing toward the wall.

An experiment in horizontal, collective authorship, nothing personal, just everything brings six accomplished female artists – choreographer Netta Yerushalmy, lighting designer Tuçe Yasak, visual artist Mieke Ulfig, writer and dramaturg Katherine Profeta, composer Paula Matthusen, and filmmaker Alla Kovgan – into collaborative orbit around a multi-sensory tangle of pictures, bodies, and objects in motion. Interrogating ideas of femaleness, fleshiness, the passage of time, the evasive notion of belonging, and the survival practices of their artist heroines through history, these six makers move in and out of step with one another, constructing and dismantling jagged landscapes.

Deploying piercingly sustained drones, an intricate and ever-shifting installation of LED screens and sculptural projections, rapid-fire spoken text, vividly saturated lighting, and Yerushalmy’s grounded and kinetic physical presence, these six artists come together, with no leader and no defined center, to continually construct, de-construct, and re-construct a new idea of home – or at least a temporary shelter.

nothing personal, just everything received early-stage creative support from UCLA Center for the Art of Performance, Ucross Foundation, and Watermill Center. It was developed at a Summer Stages Dance @ The Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston residency in 2025, and was the recipient of a Technical Residency at Kelly Strayhorn Theater, with lead support from the National Center for Choreography-Akron (NCCAkron).
