Parties: Bogomir Doringer (dancing in times of crisis)


Listen Later

In season 3 we explore parties. For many of us it's been about a year since we've danced in a crowd, flirted in dark spaces, felt bass pumping through our bodies. So we're taking the time to look deep into different aspects of nightlife.


In this first episode, artist and curator Bogomir Doringer talks to us about his ongoing research and filming project "I Dance Alone" which observes clubbing from a birds-eye-view as a mirror of social and political changes. We talk about his clubbing background in Serbia, dance floors that he observed all over the world, and why people dance in times of crisis.
