‘A lot of biopics depend on likeness – this is braver

When you dance, you don’t think about what’s in your way. You move forward to the next step. When you dance, your body feels free. When you think, your mind becomes clear. Life is bristling with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to cultivate one's garden." ~Voltaire Fantastic one! Authors covered the sayings of Sun Tzu to Confucius, Benjamin Franklin. It's so grateful to find it all in one place.

On the night of 11 December 2018, while my partner was lying on top of me and turning around on the axis of our sexual organs, the image of L’horloge de l’amour came to me. The image persisted to such a point that I felt it necessary to give it material form. On 20 June 2019, we carried out a 12-hour filmed performance behind closed doors, on a mattress of 2.32m in diameter, which served as the basis for L’horloge de l’amour.” Dance first, think later. Dance is to move and express ourselves freely, with abandon & joy. Dance as if no one is watching you—dance for yourself. Film announcements are newsletters about screenings, film festivals, and exhibitions of moving image. Moreover, I think that the COVID-19 period was very “choreographic,” in the sense that we have never been so concerned about the way we move: we unlearned gestures that were natural and learned new ones; we questioned ourselves about compulsory or forbidden gestures and movements. In this way, we have caught up, without really being aware of it, with the questions and reflections that choreographers develop on the meaning and scope of a given gesture and movement, whether individual or collective. The impact of these reflections and of certain changes in behaviour will probably last for a long time. Dance first, think later. Dancing is the easiest way to forget all your problems. Stay in the moment and dance.October 6: Shahryar Nashat, Parade, 2014 and Manon de Boer and Latifa Laâbissi, Persona, 2022. Film screening followed by a discussion with the artists Linked to the notion of resistance inherent in capoeira, in the early twentieth century frevo dancing was set to military fanfares at carnival time, before evolving into a quasi-acrobatic art celebrated as an authentic tradition. Recognised by UNESCO as a form of intangible cultural heritage in 2012, the dance passed from the street to the stage, and its circulation is strongly promoted by the local government as the foremost performing art for the economy of northeast Brazil. Faz que vai deconstructs frevo’s festive image, articulating how new subjectivities are shaping and interrogating both the genre and the socio-economic issues at stake in it. Faz que vai profiles four dancers in a series of commentaries on the relationships between movement, the body and the video camera, and reflects on how notions of the carnivalesque are used as diverse strategies for preserving frevo as image, heritage and product. Dance first, think later. Your body will always know what it wants to do, but your mind has to catch up—no time to waste on thinking. If you dance, you don’t have to think. If you think you won’t dance. Julien Prévieux, What Shall We Do Next, Séquence #2, 2014, video, exhibition view Dance First Think Later, 2020, Le Commun, Geneva. Photo Annik Wetter.
