Dance first: think later. Work hard to show everyone what you can do, and never stop growing, even when it’s tough.

James Marsh on Bringing Samuel Beckett to the Screen in

Imagine a future full of possibilities and make it happen. Everyone needs a little dance in their life. It’s not about the steps but the way you feel after. Dance first, think later. When you dance, you don’t think about what’s in your way. You move forward to the next step. When you dance, your body feels free. When you think, your mind becomes clear. Dance First premieres at the San Sebastian film festival on 29 and 30 September , is in UK cinemas in November , on Sky Cinema in December and on Sky Arts in 2024 Life is a series of dances.

Dance First, Think Later: 618 Rules to Live by [PDF] [EPUB] Dance First, Think Later: 618 Rules to Live by

Linked to the notion of resistance inherent in capoeira, in the early twentieth century frevo dancing was set to military fanfares at carnival time, before evolving into a quasi-acrobatic art celebrated as an authentic tradition. Recognised by UNESCO as a form of intangible cultural heritage in 2012, the dance passed from the street to the stage, and its circulation is strongly promoted by the local government as the foremost performing art for the economy of northeast Brazil. Faz que vai deconstructs frevo’s festive image, articulating how new subjectivities are shaping and interrogating both the genre and the socio-economic issues at stake in it. Faz que vai profiles four dancers in a series of commentaries on the relationships between movement, the body and the video camera, and reflects on how notions of the carnivalesque are used as diverse strategies for preserving frevo as image, heritage and product. The installation will be produced materially in dimensions adapted to the space at Le Commun (280 x 1500cm) and will modify how the space is perceived from the first floor. When the music stops, so do you. Dance first, think later. You’ll have plenty of time to think after you’ve moved your body.

We’re all thinking of dancing. We’re all feeling the music in our heads. We’re preparing our bodies to move, but we don’t take the time to think about what we want or why we want it.
