Together with around six participants, I host a collective dance event. As the audience gathers on the dance floor, the participants, one by one, invite everyone to dance to a song of their choice. Before the music begins, each participant shares a period in their life when they lost control. Now, they take the lead, and the audience is invited to follow their movements.
The project was first commissioned and produced by Mad House Helsinki (2019). It was later organised at Living Room, Yerevan (2025), and at the Art of Peace Conference by Austrian Forum for Peace (2026), both at the invitation of artasfoundation.
