Translation and maintaining cultural and artistic integrity of the film DANS[K]2.0 by Sara Jordan, Lala Films. Produced by Detour Dance Festival. Music clearance/licensing. Festival Presentation: Chroma International Film Festival winner of best documentary June 14 2022 Stockholm City Film Festival Semi Finalist January 9. 2022 Helsinki Education film festival international Selected. September 11. 2022 African Human Rights Film Festival Selected. August 31. 2011 Art Blocks International Film Festival winner best documentary September 19 . 2022 In Dans[k] we get to know 6 male dancers and music artists, through their stories, that are a testimony of their love to the artform they express themselves through. As a racialized Black man, in a White majority context, you are placed in the crossroads of multiple belongings, where racialized masculinity ideals, gender perceptions, politicization, and demonization mechanisms force them to navigate and deal with both external and internal contradictions. The personal stories of the 6 artists show us how backgrown, cultural heritage and notions of “Danishness”, at the same time both liberate and inspire, and also weigh down and limit them. The environment around music and dance become a home for these 6 men, where their entire existence is reflected and recognized. Dans[k] draws a picture of how musical- and movement art emerges as a safespace and sanctuary, where frustrations, desires and dreams can coexist and where it is possible to be who you are and explore who you want to be.

Translation and maintaining cultural and artistic integrity of the film DANS[K] by Sara Jordan, Lala Films. Produced by Detour Dance Festival. This film documents the journey of 7 Afro-Danish femme dancers through life with dance as their anchor and the space where a Black womxn in a White environment can explore herself. With their stories and their movement, they cross both personal and societal boundaries. While their journey into dance is all different, what they share is the desire to escape conformity and the norm that a Black body can’t satisfy in a White space. Show less
