SOCIETY: OR INFINITE REHEARSALS is an invitation to dance through subtle and not so subtle choreographies, built on the base of multiple rhythms, histories and movements that pulsate through societies implicated in and affected by colonialism and its continuities.

With a focus on artistic practices that engage with movement and its many meanings, the project contemplates dance as a methodology and offers choreography as a metaphor for thinking through the reciprocal relationship between societies and their body/bodies. SOCIETY. OR INFINITE REHEARSALS sharpens its focus on continuities of German and European colonialism and how these manifest today within the West, as concerns around "diversity" and multiculturalism, assimilation and integration.

The project understands dance as a methodology and thinking process that enables us to identify and read through choreographies that fixate our societies in the steps and gestures of colonial, patriarchal, classist and casteist logic. What more can the act of dance - ever in motion, holding in itself tenses past, present and future - teach us?

SOCIETY: OR INFINITE REHEARSALS is an invitation to dance through subtle and not-so-subtle choreographies based on multiple rhythms, histories and movements that pulse through societies interwoven with colonialism and its continuities. The exhibition focuses on artistic practices that deal with movement and its many meanings. It considers dance as a method and offers choreography as a metaphor for thinking about the reciprocal relationship between societies and the bodies that belong to them. SOCIETY. OR INFINITE REHEARSALS focuses on the continuities of German and European colonialism and how these are expressed today in the West as problems of 'diversity', multiculturalism, assimilation and integration.

The project understands dance as a methodology and thought process through which we can succeed in identifying and seeing through the choreographies that fix our societies in the steps and gestures of colonial, patriarchal, class- and caste-related logics. What else could dance - which is always in motion and simultaneously carries past, present and future - teach us?
