The Stance(Australia)

I had the opportunity to dance in the work of Liesel Zink, an Australian choreographer in collaboration with the musician Mike Willmett. The hour long-site specific performance took place in the Sziget festival, Budapest(Fidelio dance and theater tent) in each day of the festival.

The Stance is a monumental dance and sound performance that investigates the choreography of bodies in protest and questions what it means to put your body on the line for something you believe in. Both highly political and physically demanding, The Stance is an imposing act of endurance that channels the history of public protest and recent acts of global action, activism and intervention.
