Is a performance for introverts and extroverts. It moves between sonic meditation that can be felt buy hugging the speakers and dancing together.

It traces the muscles and the stories hidden inside of them.

It traces the influence of clubmusic, the importance of the drum, the kick, the bass.

It traces back to the innovators-
It is giving blasian vibes, mixedkidz, ancestry, shaking, and community knowledge

The reasoning of the maker Ciro Goudsmit:
Through my study, I started questioning what dance is inside the institutions we move in. When dancing in Indonesia (Java and Sulawesi) I started to recognize the difference between western dance and traditional dance(in an Indonesian context)—and questioned how I move inside of this as a mixed kid. I started to see mixedness as a style. Looking at the rhythms, instruments, the relation between tonalities, drum patterns, and ways we use our body in movement. For me, it is a healing practice to see that there was so much beautiful exchange between places before the exploitation of the West. I realized that so many rhythms are living in our body, the ability to adapt and learn from others, and how I have been doing that for so long. Therefore I want to work with you to celebrate those rhythms.
