DANCE FLOOR RESEARCH CLUB
a co-created improvisation
D’FRAC is a container for expanding and experimenting with the concept of a dance floor. It is positioned on the continuum between the night club and the dance studio.
We leverage architecture and the layered complexity of spaces to morph the perception of our bodies in movement, proposing alternative perspectives on dancing and music.
The movement guidance leads the dancers into states of expanded body awareness where a sense of spaciousness and freedom meets the energy and intensity of the clubbing experience. The physical imagination that is weaved into the space opens layers of perception and adds points of reference to the framework in which the collective body connects.
Traversing traditional approaches of dance floor creation found in the clubbing scene, we challenge definitions of “dance music” within the group, connecting the participants’ individual and collective ideas in the moment and allowing the fluid, intersubjective exchange between dancers, dj, and movement guide to grow richer.
The created environment invites heightened sensitivity and aesthetic pleasure, a field where everyone tuned in to its presence takes part in emerging compositional / performative moments. The dancing body fosters connection and communicates beyond the conceptual frameworks of language that define identities. Consequently the dancefloor can be a relational space where all identities are experienced as a fluid truth.
Moments arise in which a hidden self presents itself through the act of dancing, unleashing a variety of grooves and identities we each encapsulate.
