Antidance

How would my body move if it didn’t know how to move? How far does my imagination need to fly until it transmits to my body. How would I move if everything was possible?

How would I dance if I was not a dancer?

Antidance is movement practice to celebrate the body memory of love for dancing. Decoding the technically skilled body to its core, back to where movements and forms have no rank. Exploration of decision making and surprise of the body in movement. Translating ‘amateur’ physicality into conscious methods of organizing the body in space. Playground of performativity and expression of emotional drama on our favorite music tracks.
