Young Boy Dancing Group
Production Assistant | Gessnerallee, Zurich
Young Boy Dancing Group ignites a communal catharsis through mercurial movement. Their raw and intimate live performances are inspired by post-apocalyptic and DIY aesthetics, forming a ballet of structured improvisation. Here the body moves with the ethereal embrace of light as it deforms and becomes vulnerable. Their work calls us to submit to chaos. Since its inception in 2014, YBDG's work has continued to evolve - each scene, each location and each performance brings new vitality to the work and integrates the city's diverse dance community.
YBDG 2024 Dining, a part of Tune in-Drop Out fesrtival
The new production YBDG 2024 Dining is a participatory outdoor dinner performance. On three consecutive evenings, a table will be set at and on which a menu will be served and eaten together to the accompaniment of music. The table functions as a stage and social space for a collective experience.
YBDG Workshop, a part of Tune in-Drop Out fesrtival
Young Boy Dancing Group workshop consists of choreographic instructions with a clear and substantial goal; to be part of a group, to dance together, to embody feelings, to explore a sense of safety in stillness with one another and to produce collective highs. Rather than a series of exercises, the workshop is offered to the participant as an intimate journey with a punk attitude towards modern dance and the possibility to allow ourselves to use vulnerability to dive deep into raw emotions.
