REVERSED DANCES:
The Weight of the Smartphone – Dancing Between Capitalism and Intimacy
This workshop explores the smartphone as both support and enclosure – a device that connects and fragments, sustains intimacy and bonds, yet accelerates disconnection. As an extension of the self and a filter between body, world, and others, it mediates attention and desire. Through dance improvisation, somatic exploration, and poetic inquiry, we investigate how this object shapes perception, touch, and our sense of space-time. What dances emerge when we invite its tensions into the body? Can we recover slowness or ambiguity within and beyond the screen? Blending improvisation, somatics, imagination, and collective reflection, REVERSED DANCES offers a space to embody questions and reimagine how we relate to technology, one another and the world.
No dance experience required.

REVERSED DANCES is a collaboration between Franziska Gerth and Lily Pasquali blending dance and philosophy to respond to today’s crises. Their practice distorts norms, surfaces hidden emotions, and challenges boundaries of space and time. Rooted in care and radical tenderness, they explore discomfort as a path to new sensitivities. Combining ecological and political awareness, they use movement and improvisation to nurture compassion, solidarity, and connection beyond human limits.
