Dance Safari (2019)





Dance Safari, an exciting community project bringing amateurs and professional dancers together for a site-specific performance, led and choreographed by Nya Rörelsen and made in collaboration with participants from Konstkupan.  

The performance scatters many choreographies about human interaction, connection and conversation out into a landscape where audiences must watch from a viewpoint. Provided a dance map and binoculars they must search for the dances and choose which to watch, creating a fun and engaging experience of “people watching” as well as seeing our public spaces with fresh eyes! Audiences are encouraged to bring headphones and a mixed playlist so they can even choose what music to hear with the dances.  Dance Safari brings together  immigrant groups and Swedes, providing a creative hub that encourages togetherness and inclusiveness through artistic collaboration.
