About the performative intervention

Move with US is a participatory dance party. This collaborative event engages with nonviolence through a series of physical movements that resist oppression by connecting to one’s body. Through participatory processes, people are invited to express their cultural selfhood beyond nationality, sexuality, gender, and religious affiliation through performative speech acts and gestures. Since dance fosters a sense of belonging, participants are invited to explore the concept of transindividuality and embrace multiple forms of sensing, oscillating between personal experiences, modes of identification, and collective expression, both in physical and virtual spaces. As the event concludes, the group is invited to share their visions of a world without violence, where modes of belonging are prioritized over forms of categorization and segregation.


Collaborators: Farnoosh Nik, DJ Sard, Nix, Aaron Pellot, and Mari Thiersch.
