DIS(INFORMATION)?

Cool and hypnotic short dance film DIS(INFORMATION)?, choreographed by London and New York based Benjamin Jonsson and performed by MA students from London Contemporary Dance School, is intended to mirror the speed, relentlessness and saturation of social media, and how people experience the world though a screen.

Creating a claustrophobic environment around fast-paced movement and intense visuals, the piece: “…considers how a tool intended to pull us together can in turn force us apart. As momentum builds, collective movement collapses and individuals are isolated, overwhelmed, and swallowed, beginning to unravel…The dancers move as a unit, steered by the surrounding mass, as their behaviours and identities are redirected by the algorithm…DIS(INFORMATION)? observes the narrowed reality delivered by social media, and a landscape in which nuance becomes harder to find, led by what holds our attention, reinforcing what we already believe.”
