Welcome to I Wanna Talk About Dance – a vibrant performance where three dancers rooted in flamenco, hip-hop, and contemporary dance come together in an intense, intimate, and deeply moving expression. Accompanied by two live musicians, they create a pulsating journey that shifts from high-energy sweat to moments of quiet fragility.

Blending rhythms, languages, and bodies from different cultures, the performance invites you into an intimate space where dance itself becomes a conversation: about identity, presence, and what it means to be human. Inspired by dialogues about how we can speak about something as wordless as dance, choreographer Jenny Larsson opens a space for reflection – and by the end, you may find yourself not just watching but wanting to move too.

In the project I Wanna Talk About Dance, choreographer Jenny Larsson explores the meaning and accessibility of dance through dialogue and collaboration. Focusing on encounters between dancers and people without prior experience in contemporary dance, the project examines how dance is perceived and what it can be. During the research phase, 27 conversations were conducted in both Sweden and the US, gathering thoughts and memories about dance.

The 45-minute performance reflects the themes and questions that emerged throughout the process: What is the essence of dance? How can it be both accessible and challenging? And how can a performance embody the many voices and ideas that shaped it? This group work is not just a collection of movements but also a story about encounters—between dancers and non-dancers, between individual and collective ideas, and between different art forms. It shows that dance, no matter how abstract or conceptual it may seem, is always about human connection and community.

The project has also sparked new ways of thinking about marketing and communication. By involving the local community in the creative process, a natural connection is formed with the very audience the work is intended for—an important step toward making contemporary dance more inclusive and accessible.
