We are also delighted to include a special screening of the film Dancing in Captivity (2021) by Joy Brandsma, cultural anthropologist and freelance researcher who has worked with the Lectorate on a range of projects including the recent event Performing Oceanic Solidarities. Joy Brandsma: “Dancing in Captivity presents ways that five dancers proceed to liberate and unchain their bodies through the performance of unruly dance during times of an ‘intelligent’ and severe lockdown. The dancers live in the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and the Philippines. This film shows dancers that use queering to radically question the heteronormative world around them, which is racially skewed towards straight white males (and white females who keep in line)”.
