31st Kalamata International Dance Festival-MARTHA PASAKOPOULOU/Dance Your Way Out
Spread the word
Dance Your Way Out is an audio-walk experience—a guided journey celebrating movement and the joy of free dance. Participants meet their “guides” and follow them along a route in public space, surfing between narrative voices and physical movement prompts. Dance Your Way Out draws from the idea of the “dancing plague” (or choreomania) and the contagious nature of dance—a social phenomenon that appeared in the late Middle Ages, sweeping people into non-stop dancing for days. It relies on entertainment and the body’s innate capacity to “hear” rhythm. The piece proposes a collective experience and extends an invitation to a techno-driven dance in public space. How do we experience our daily passage through the city when shaped by sound and movement? Participants navigate as a group, moving to their own rhythm, within the shifting temporalities proposed by the urban landscape. Dance Your Way Out is a vibrant and sonic experience for those participating, while remaining silent to onlookers.
Free admission with an entry pass, until all available seats are filled.
