Again Forever
The slow as a subversive dance, full of queer, anti-patriarchal potential
Again Forever is a dance performance that approaches the slow dance as a potentially subversive dance, a slow sister of underground dances such as rave dance. Since 2014 Lisa Vereertbrugghen has been exploring hardcore techno with performances, installations and techno meditations. Now she focuses on the radical way in which the slow dance deals with intimacy and time in an age of productivity, efficiency and isolation. Four performers take the slow dance out of its traditional framework and appropriate the dance as a collective practice full of queer, anti-patriarchal potential.

STUK IS LOOKING FOR YOUR DANCE MEMORIES!
Do you keep your tickets from memorable dance performances? After a great night of dancing, do you write something down? Do you still have programme booklets at home? A photo or poster on the wall? Is there a movement from a performance you can instantly recreate, or a scene that will stay with you forever?
We’re showcasing all your dance memories in the exhibition at Body of Work (25.04 — 13.05), our festival of
living dance heritage. If you you have such a dance memory, register on this page and we will get in touch with you shortly.
