Everything That Is Wrong With Me
The latest dance performance by Jasmine Ellis Projects Everything That Is Wrong With Me explores the intersection of identity and creativity. It celebrates the richness of neurodiverse perspectives with the concept of ‘radical softness’. Vulnerability is used as a powerful artistic tool; delicate and dynamic movements embody the complexity of human experience. With six dancers and live music by Olicía and Lukas Bamesreiter, the piece creates a multi-sensory journey that challenges social norms and redefines our understanding of normality and deviance.
Image description: The portrait photo in sepia coloring has a fine orange-red frame. It shows a close-up of the two dancers Jacob and Charles. Jacob is looking directly into the camera. He wears a cajal, a small moustache, a white costume and tattoos on his neck. In a pose that we can’t quite make out, he holds Charles’ naked back, on which you can also see his many freckles even with the sepia coloring.
