ResisTANZ / 2021 / 2022

ResisTANZ is a participatory dance project that processes sexualised violence.

Sadly sexualised violence on female read is a current and all affecting topic. Many people don´t experience justice – neither through their direct environment nor through the judicial system – and often just because of their identity.

ResisTANZ is a personal process through the artistic expression of dance improvisation. Therefore we are working on dance videos as an art product that is proof of their experiences of sexualised violence.

The very individual body memory of each participating female read in the context of this group of themes gets expressed by their dance improvisation.

Her dance, her choice of space and a created soundscape are creating her personal transformation space – in form of a short video.

We are a group of one dancer, two musicians and one graphic designer whos aim is to enhance communication, consciousness and self-empowerment after the experiences of sexualised violence. We hope to encourage each other to keep on moving – personally, artisticly and politically.
