LOCAL DANCING
dancing in circles at Atelier Frankfurt

local dancing invites you to dance local dances for pleasure, accompanied by live keyboard music. They include dances such as the Fairy Dance, Procession, the 5-5-5-5-5 Dance, the Summertime Sadness Dance, the Refund Dance. Using queer transmission and speculative instant tradition as methods, we imagine popular group dances that may have travelled through time and became non-binary and unpaired. Detached from a national narrative, the dances pretend to be local wherever they are. They are all proposals of how to come together in dancing, and how the repetition and routine of a circular choreography can hold us.
