Welcome to our blog!

This is our think-tank and another experimental format to share our process.

It is a different way to remain troubled and sustain a space of movement, acknowledge the wobbles, the questions, the kinship, the struggles, while we actively shape the conditions of our labour and try to deconstruct the logics of the product. We’ve got the chance to explore different dimensions of dance as social and cultural practice with many complexities of making dance performance beyond what is possible in the institutional context. We would like to take this opportunity to share with you echoes of our work before we see us on stage and most of all to share our inspirations our connections. 

“We are always already in conversation with movements and moments of the past that were themselves about growing more powerful together, having each others’s backs, resisting corrosive practices while retrieving supportive ones, choosing to work and grow in friendships less rusted by the imperatives of capitalism and Empire: “There are – and there always have been – many places and spaces where alternatives are in full bloom.”
Joyful Militancy: Building Thriving Resistance in Toxic Times.

Art happens in relation, in the fabric of the making, in the in_between, in being in resonance with reality, brutal and beautiful. DIVAS’ artistic concept is based on transformation and collaboration in the field of performing arts focusing on dance, choreography, bodies, touching and the spaces in_between. We struggle with notion of collective, community and explore aesthetics as well as ethics of participation. We will be posting irregular, mostly unfinished thoughts and rough sketches, on our way to learn how to write, archive and share work in progress.
