Image

In hip hop culture, having swagger is critical - being braggadocious and being able to back up that attitude is key. But what happens when dancers age, and the physical demands of dance on the body begin to catch up to the dancer? In My Body welcomes this evolution, and its effects on street dancers.

4 acrobats on stage against a light backdrop doing cartwheels and flips

Created by FLIP Fabrique, this is a circus show like you’ve never seen before - daring feats and amazing acrobatics are the canvas on which these performers play with gender roles and stereotypes. The show’s collection of eclectic performers will have to choose between a football uniform or ballet outfit, symbolizing the boxes society so often forces people into: are you a tough, aggressive man, or a sweet and delicate woman?

In this contemporary Danish dance work, five male dancers perform in Johan Kølkjær’s set design of oversized and mobile benches that are constantly being transformed.
