Cryptodance is a performative event to collectively embody issues of security, privacy, safety and surveillance, and to familiarize ourselves with differents modes of encryption (ciphering and deciphering messages) by careful somatic tactics, dance scores and electronic devices.
“Cryptodance instigates a technopolitical urgency for sovereignty and a desire for affinities between the body and machine” (bolwerK).
Goldjian and bolwerK started plotting the Cryptodance project during a Ministry of Hacking (Nov. 2014, Esc, Gratz, Austria), where they formed joint(ad)venture of The Department of Waves and Shadow and The Department of Care and Wonder. Cryptodance was developed in August 2016 during the preparations of THF 2016! by a small international constellation of choreographers, hackers and dancers. They met, discussed and wrote a choreography combining dance scores, cryptotechnics and somatic tactics. The first performative event occurred during the THF August 20th at STUDIO XX.
Collaborators: bolwerK, Marthe Van Dessel, Goldjian, Karine Rathle, Ellen Foster, Margareth Westby, Nikos Chandolias, Stéphanie Castonguay, Christina Dunbar
