Genderjoy
A dancer in a fantastical costume and a guitarist’s improvised tones combine to create a living sculpture which turns gender stereotypes on their head and inside out. In constant flux, they challenge and shape how we see.
A body undulates through gendered signals, adopting fleeting forms which shift from something distinctly feminine through something distinctly masculine and into something undefined. A large muscle bulging out from the leg, a hip which jerks with extra sass and a human form which oscillates between vulnerable and proud.
Genderjoy is a physical and musical collage which plays with the gender roles and patterns which we ourselves help to perpetuate and form – perhaps without really wanting to?

About the company
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Gazart performances take a curious look at familiar situations from everyday life. They create new angles on the trivia with which we surround ourselves but which we seldom regard as particularly significant. Tali uses her choreography to poke holes in the bubbles of the imagination, releasing it to flow freely in artful universes that contain more than we can see with the naked eye, often in a creative dialogue between dance and other means of artistic expression.
