#BiennaleDanza2023 | Recap 3 @BotisSeva (@FarFromThe_Norm), #RachidOuramdane, #AndreaPeña: these are the three protagonists of today's video report. Between performances and workshops, they alter our states of understanding and experience. Because #AlteredStates is a lightning bolt, the nerve impulse carrying the emotional charge of BLKDOG and being hypnotised by the shimmering Möbius strip of VARIATION(S).

BLKDOG opens tonight @la_Biennale

#BiennaleDanza2023 | Day 5 It's @BotisSeva's day! A leading figure of the new generation, the choreographer and the @FarFromThe_Norm community of artists come to Italy for the first time (Teatro alle Tese, 8 pm) with BLKDOG, a show that questions "how we fight through our vices to find a sense of peace". The DANCE CONSTRUCTIONS by #SimoneForti (5 pm and 6:30 pm) and the performance for dancers and pendulums by @LucyGuerinInc and #MatthiasSchackArnott (6 pm) return in the afternoon. Programme → bit.ly/1807-BiennaleD… 🎟 → bit.ly/Tickets_Bienna…

"The healing process is ongoing... I don’t think you can find it in one piece, but BLKDOG does shine a light on it. We're finding it through ourselves and the people around us as we become better humans. We try our best and do everything we can from a place of love." Botis

Each time we perform BLKDOG it brings new meaning. We’ve been blessed to travel with this work - next stop is @la_Biennale - having the opportunity to present it in here is very special - an honour. 18 & 19 July🎟 bit.ly/biennale-danza Image: Sebastian Marcovici

"a commitment to fight for a better future ...at whatever cost" @BConvention

"It’s a thought-provoking piece that confirms the value of creating dance for film. It opens up worlds for dance – and opens up dance to the world" Write up on @Sadlers_Wells Motion Picture: Inside The Blind Iris by @SarahC_k for @guardian bit.ly/itbiguardian
