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.
