DANCÆ – A True Fusion of Techno and Ballet
It has been attempted many times to bring together techno and club culture and the world of dance and ballet. And while the results are often fun and entertaining, impressive even – they are rarely authentic. But if the results are great – what does it matter? Well, the answer to that is connected to a lot of challenges the techno scene and club culture are facing. While still being marginalized and disadvantaged they are heavily commodified and commercialized in recent years which has caused a lot of grief and disagreement in the scene.
So, naturally, when I see a project like DANCÆ and its associated dance company Ballet sur_real that is rooted in the actual scene it makes me excited because it brings out the best in creative work on the intersection of different disciplines and genres.
