We look for equality in movement and for the end of hierarchy between
body parts. Relations between body parts are like relations between
people within the group. We play and distort in any kind of way. We
differentiate synchronicity from synchronisation. We understand
synchronicity as the moment when things fall together in time, a
phenomenon of energy. We borrow floor, formation, and holding patterns
from other communally practiced forms, such as folk dance or Eastern
body practices. We relate resistance to questions of rhythm. We relate
protest to questions of organisation and exercise. We look at the
aesthetics of representation and the kind we are trying to resist. We
look at the aesthetics of representation as a political practice. Could
the creation of an infinite, unified, monstrous body possibly become a
site of resistance? Could the body itself become a site of resistance,
the body of a dancer?
