Dance as resistance: the 'slow' as the slow sister of rave dance

Over the past twelve years, Lisa Vereertbrugghen has explored the political and physical dimensions of (hardcore) techno music and dance. With 'Again Forever', she expands her research to a social dance at the other end of the speed spectrum: the slow dance.

'Again Forever' approaches the slow dance as a potentially subversive dance, a slow sister to rave dancing. The performance focuses on the radical way in which the slow dance deals with intimacy and time in an era dominated by productivity, speed, and isolation. The slow dance is taken out of its traditional context and connected to today's queer nightlife. Slow dancing becomes a collective practice and a form of resistance. This is the way the performers give shape to the anti-patriarchal slow dance: as a slow rave.
