Short dance choreographies have been a huge trend on social media in recent years. Amala Dianor’s new creation honours the exuberant creativity and sheer vitality of this art form, which has developed both in festive underground venues and on the internet. Eleven young urban dancers, each trained in differing dance forms, virtuously fathom the choreographic range between individual demonstrations of skill and collective synchronising. Accompanied by the live music of Awir Leon, they move through a landscape of large stacked cubes, in which every motion can become viral. “DUB” celebrates the resistance of movement and peo-ple to categorisation.
