S_ WORDS

S_ words

The inclusive dance group Artogether presents its new performance, S_ words. Nearly two years after its last production (Tricky Little Games), the group returns with a dynamic new work that moves between movement, words, and sound.

The title of the piece plays on the words “words” and “swords.” In a time when spoken language is considered the primary vehicle of human communication, trusting that we can communicate through the body, through sound, through our gaze, becomes a battle—a small act of rebellion. In S_ words, we experiment with disrupting familiar tools of communication in order to invent our own shared language.

Movement, words, and sound emerge from the same collective body as elements of a single world. Words that carry meaning yet signify nothing, words that transform into sound, sound that becomes movement, movement that generates words—all intertwined in a dance that is created and dissolved at the same moment. A strange polyphony, a hidden language revealed through the movement of bodies, celebrating their diversity.
