This is not a dance is a collaborative installation/performance bringing together five artists whose work crosses the disciplines of dance, sculpture, photography, fashion-design and video. This project explores the pursuit of intimacy and engagement through movement across one shared stage.
Departing from the question of dance presentation within a visual art context, This is not a dance seeks to dissolve the separation between the space of the dance - a 20 minute solo performance- and the space of the gallery.
This is not a dance traces a space, where a body tries to find its way in and out its own choreography. When movement loses its author, locomotion becomes strange.
A performance without a subject. A voice that becomes a body. A body that becomes a scream. Passing through broken languages and routes that go nowhere, This Is Not a Dance is not, but has to, become a dance.
