by Ming Poon

Developed from an earlier public intervention (Dance with me) – in which I traveled to different cities asking strangers on the street to slow dance with me – this performance invites us to confront systemic loneliness together onstage. Slow dancing becomes an act of resistance, as our bodies reach out, make contact and hold each other. How can we reclaim loneliness, rather than letting it own us? What has the pandemic taught us about it? How can we transform loneliness from a place of separation and isolation into a tool for collective action and solidarity?
