Let’s go on a world tour of urban dances! A journey from Asia to the USA, Latin America, Europe and Africa, where it all began.
This danced conference is a both dramatic and informative “live” form around urban dances throughout the world. With video projections, Ana Pi refers to (without aiming for comprehensiveness) the huge variety of dances in the streets of the big cities in the world: Krump in Los Angeles, Dancehall in Kingston, Pantsula in Johannesburg, Voguing in New York… For each of them, the artist recounts the sociological and political context which saw it emerge and their connection to music. Because music is always the inspiration for these forms of dancing and meeting.
