Can a small dance change the world – new work in process

Can a small dance change the world explores cultural dynamics in post-colonial societies, highlighting the importance of bodily expression and dance as forms of resistance, celebration and cultural intersections.
Piny explores in depth the past and present of dance, from the perspective of non-academic forms and their relationship with traditional and folk dances. She draws inspiration from street culture and clubbing in (sub)urban environments, from the perspective of different diasporas, decolonialism, queerness, tradition, futurism and institutional presences.
Piny seeks to examine the links between people, dances and their political and social contexts. She aims to link geographies and history by researching and highlighting theoretical, practical and utopian differences and similarities.

She explores themes of post-colonialism and Afrofuturism, and reflects on the space and moment within a performance. This project aims to re-centre the peripheries, to create bridges between lost ancestral lands and to create pluralistic content, a narrative space that is not just for white people and that is not Euro-centred.
