Cracking the shell of Dance

Cracking the shell of dance is a search for the origin of the motivation to dance. We dance in the club, at family parties, in the kitchen, in the theatre, at ceremonies and rituals. It is a universal human element. As a maker, Jade is curious about the dancing which is carried by joy, and what kind of rhythm does that have?

In this research 24 people, family, neighbors and strangers, participated by going into the studio with Jade for a 1-on-1 dance meeting of 1 hour.
What makes us dance? How do we dance for ourselves, for others and together?

The end result of this process was presented by an interactive dance performance: a bubble of various possible dance stories, experiences and meanings.
