Jeremy Nedd: from rock to rock
The Milly Rock, a viral dance inspired by the rapper 2 Milly, takes centre stage in the acclaimed choreographer’s London debut.
Inspired by a rapper’s copyright lawsuit against a video game company, Basel-based choreographer Jeremy Nedd’s latest work, from rock to rock… aka how magnolia was taken for granite, explores a dance move known as the Milly Rock.
Five performers examine the Milly Rock, a dance move inspired by the rapper 2 Milly. In doing so, they search for the hidden poetry and virtuosic freedom found in social and viral dance moves.
Taking a look into the ‘algorhythm’ of marginalised movement languages, one asks: can a dance move belong to anyone? And, when that answer is yes, who actually profits from the move?
London presentations are supported by Pro Helvetia.
