Different needs can be satisfied just with a click, using an app, in speed of light. Have you realised how much a thump is in control ? But we leave it up to audience to decide if it is a good or bad thing, however, we call everyone out, to reflect. Social media and chatboxes, in retro-futuristic universe, sci-fi inspired, we play with boundaries of what is mechanic and organic, human and robotic.
In SPEED OF LIGHT Diana and Anastasija work with STRUTTING - traditional dance from San Fransisco/Oakland, USA. We are continuing legacy of our mentors Pop Tart (Demons of the Mind, PT-3000 - legendary strutting teams from San Francisco), Ryan Webb & Rashaad Hasani (Urban Artistry, USA) and in our show we stick to traditional techniques and formulas of a strutting show, also including some other techniques of Boogaloo, Stepping, Waveing and Roboting.
