Bodies cannot speak freely under surveillance. So the question is: what can the body say?
Movement and dance have always been embedded within culture and across societies, particularly as expressions of resistance, anger, and release.
What are our physical selves trying to communicate in a world where words and meaning have started to lose purpose? How To Dance speaks not only to the literal act, but also to the social and political — to sensing freedom not merely as an idea, but as a vibration.
