Something Great
In the near darkness of an ephemeral club, five bodies oscillate between the power of the collective and minimalist intimacy exploring subjectivity, disorientation, queer embodiment and desire. Untitled (Holding Horizon) draws inspiration from the box step, a movement used in several social dances, in order to create a subtle and captivating choreography.
“I see sharing pleasure in dancing and moving together as itself a queer mode of affective resistance. And for sure this piece touches on the experience of the queer dance floor as a place that can invoke a safe space within a hostile environment. This pleasure and politics can be contained within a single gesture of the hands—the longing, playful wrists. In the club, this gesture is a way of sending out a sign, a mode of queer communication and self-enactment.”
