Would You Still Love Me if I Was a Dancer?

“Is a body of work exploring the social and technological capabilities of co - creating a dance floor through, an interactive installation, workshops, publications, and experimental movement practice. The motion capture code allows each “dancer” to alter the soundscape via their movements. Developed out of a collaborative publication series, Ballet for Non - Dancers, it highlights how everyday people create dance floors in everyday life. The projected 16mm film showcases a workshop that tests this mobile site. Here we meditated on methods of play, histories of rave culture, and what it means to put the dancer back in the dance music story. This space mixes archive Black sounds, choral arrangements, protest recordings and everyday movements to host a place where a deconstructed idea of a “dancer” manifests.

This a duet between the archival powers of dance and communities created by a love for sound to form acts of resistance.

We dance to move, archive & resist.

We dance to FREE PALESTINE.
