Asscrack Dance Practice
the sticky strength of muscles glued throughout
the muscles work juice for juice
crocodile tears running down my spine
Dare I speak thoughts of wilderness passing like shivers of crocodiles calling above the surface water. Above the surface water, I wonder how can I let time pass slower, slower I can sink in sweat dripping past the concrete gasp. A gasp of details I wonder.
Is the wild body the body I have not tamed? Tame I tough for others’s sake.
shake. shake thou shall not rest. rest when thou shall shake.
Warm are my cheeks, cold my feet. Heavy lies the head of tears in between
a gasp of sweat beneath my nails.
In a world full of capitalist crocodiles it’s time for an asscrack dance.
This dance reveals asscracks, likes innocent nudity, loves thirsty water bottles and cares for unconventional shaking.
The “Asscrack Dance Practice” showcases an exploration of
the asscrck dance scores which are part of Yelena’s MA Dance project
at the Oslo National Academy of Dance.
The scores are raw, sweaty, somatic and thirsty.
