What is considered dance, beauty, virtuosity and complicity through the prioritized perspectives of white and northern values of performance and spectatorship? Looking to disorient the sensation and perception of gendered, colonized and racialized assumptions, we use dance to emphasize the weaving of dancing, embodiment and politics along lines of liberation, violence and connection.  To shake, succumb, roar, push, pull, spin, fall, is all about disorienting within the framework of demolishing, or playing with anti-colonial demolitions, sexual violence and objectification and our calcified ideas of bodies in dance, ballet and spectacle.
