OFF-SITE PERFORMANCE
DANCE YOUR WAY OUT
MARTHA PASAKOPOULOU
DANCE YOUR WAY OUT is an audio walking experience, a guided journey for the celebration of movement, and the pleasure of free dance. The participants meet their guides and follow them through fictional voices and guided movement routines, along a public route.
DANCE YOUR WAY OUT draws from the idea of the “dancing plague” and dance’s contagiousness—a social phenomenon that emerged during the Middle Ages—and relies on entertainment and the human-body’s ability to fall into rhythm. It suggests a collective experience, towards a tekno-driven dance. It proposes a vibrant and loud experience for the participants, but it stays silent for the observers!
