here are better rehearsing a performance with a student of his from venezuela. they plan to perform the piece in public spaces. that list coming in. 70 percent of the population have got there he now has african roots in the language and being white in a predominantly black neighborhood was a challenge for me but i mean to survive here i had to adapt to the environment. and they pointed me. to him this work here and it was a form of dance research. i wanted to really delve into and explore the people of

this city but it's had more. room on the name as a doll. but it somehow captures the essence of colombians today or you know the long. into simone dowd who puts him on $1.00 stands for your average person in constant need to come up with a way to survive in the cliché in your simplest but up words or whatever be the monday dance is in order to earn a living. but. not a solo you. know better body has made a name for himself experimenting with new forms of expression and combining improvisation and classical technique. i think to strengthen artists now where. they come together and they find.

spirit is outside of institutions that they find their own initiative that they work on their own their value and their. kind action and how they work with the city i think this is a kind of empowerment for the l.g.b. t.q. community for instance. in colombia the queer the formants group house of to come out as it's drawing the audience. it was founded back in the hunger to knock us together with other like minded individuals. we're a collective combining voting with the south american done. but we also do other things we got together in order to go out in the evenings and to perform to explore to experiment but for. me think of here on the left want to experiment a few. body of

to aggressive machismo full of progressive creative projects but also discrimination although the queer arts center house of tipper morris requires security it provides a safe space for those who come here know to look at almost always but we create spaces where we're safe from hostility to threats with thomas we're very proud of what we have achieved in such a short time period i'm proud of who we are but i was at a safe space is that we've established are not exclusive for others to back off but on mitt. romney and the idea is that everything is in constant flow not just dance. but also gender fluid gender but it will fluid in our bodies fluid in a latin american city fluid and nightlife like in america. the marist. and important to have for the scene to connect and run free.

look. i believe the l.g.b. to community off the moves in strongly separated and isolated spaces is the most when we're together we feel that things are changing that often but then we go out onto the street and the surroundings stay hostile. but never going to go because i believe that our approach is a pretty radical. concourse was the. case on with ali i'm into theater companions and activism in music or party or luckiest . the. fancy dance as entertainment i think it can speak about complex issues in the world

new york will fall and then they have a lot of the schools as if it was here with and they're going to meet the athletes like regis covering the animal that within what was there last year was there were one couples who would be lending money. and something or 5 for i clearly like my sense of smoking. the amount of sense i think is just incredible or since there was a deal or isn't my sense of smell gives me so much information for me day and then this allows me to perceive the city in a much more encompassing way because that was on the bus we're. going to have brought this heist in sensory awareness to dresden and was drawn to a little video tapes. she used the dons congress

2019 as an experimental space and made new connections. to her in precarious times and it's evident to keep going when the earth or limited resources or you feel that rather that you're here or not in the center or that people are not appreciating your work or about seeing their worth so how to strengthen the collective voice so i think there's a kind of real like that if you would take what's the source of a kind of on guard or a sheriff or breakthrough that's in this restructuring element of this other kinds of ways of. bringing people together and discussing issues and making things more transparent for. the dance congress a long lasting effect
