In urban dance, Power Moves are movements that are used in so-called battles to impress competitors and audiences alike. They are much more than just technique: they embody self-empowerment, arise from the power of expression and give the dancers a strong presence.
In this way, the dancers develop their own creativity, naturally include questions about the physical expression of gender in their performances, mix different styles such as street dance with vogueing and thus create a fascinating movement language.
The contemporary dance production combines these Power Moves into a full-length choreography and – with the title alone – incidentally builds a bridge to current events in which the representation of power and movement takes on a new relevance.
