It’s fun, it’s free, it’s healthy.
M O R E _ W O R D S :
Dance improvisation brings a playful, sensitive and contrasting energy to public space. It’s not a performance and passers by can just join.
The space is experienced and perceived differently through this experience. Our relation to the space changes. The energy of the space changes.
We’re carefully listening to our inner self/body/surroundings and express freely through dancing — however small or big it wants to come out. Being in the Now… it’s fashionable, timeless… and feels good.

We are :
• Not just crossing public space to go from A to B, but creatively engaging with the space as a partner.
• Not in public space as consumers (sometimes looks like the only option), but differently appropriating the space through creative playfulness from a place of inspiration.
• Connecting on a different level with the space and people, listening differently.
• Not needing a specific context or reason to feel free to dance.

We can wonder how this space is constructed, what are the forms, textures, the streams of people and cars, the functions of the buildings in the area. We can notice that seemingly unpleasant sounds can become like a music we dance with, we may discover the layeredness of the soundscape. E t c e t e r a

Where there may be experiences with (regular) harassment/aggression in public space, this different way of experiencing public space can be a joyfully freeing way to reclaim the streets.
It can be emancipating (old school word?) in many other ways.
