I have spent the last year working with several groups of dancers, choreographers and actors on a research project to archive the gestures, movements and rhythms of protest. To date we have researched, enacted and archived over 500 different gestures and choreographies used by protestors all around the world. I am involved with the
#endDP campaign and how the deployment of the activist body is made significant through choreographic tactics and gestures of resistance. I have developed and proposed a piece of choreography for the campaign. But most of all I want the activists involved in the endDP campaign to start thinking about intentional gestural acts deployed to protest the status quo and effect change. Protests all around the globe are starting to harness choreography as a form of protest.
