DIS_move is an online dance work by artists with and without learning disabilities from Berlin, Novi Sad and Lyon created during the series of lockdowns in the COVID-19 pandemic. It is made of solo dance and music videos that internet users can select by their own choice and play them simultaneously in multiple combinations turning these videos into the art of screen choreography. DIS_move also contains audio descriptions in German for a certain combinations of videos selected by the artist participants.
DIS_move is a part of “DIS- is not included” initiative that offered a program for persons with learning disabilities in Berlin to explore dance, movement and performance, as well as it provided conditions for Berlin based and international artists with and without learning disabilities to work together and present their work in public. From this initiative emerged a new performing arts group: Tanzerei. Due to the pandemic related restrictions, the group moved their activities to an online environment. DIS_move is the first public performance of the Tanzerei group members, and their response to the ongoing questioning how to share dance and creative processes with a public during the pandemic.
