Live Performance Instagram 2020

Corono virus - #stay at home # The Corona Pandemic began in Wuhan, China, in late 2019. Within 4 months this virus became not only the main content of all communications on earth, but also the first global viral disease. One result of this crisis was the "social distancing" and "contact ban". As a side effect, everyone was asked - by law or with moral emphasis - to stay at home for at least 2 weeks. With her live performance on Instagram, the artist sought and found a virtual and dancing way out of isolation. From Monday to Sunday, 7 days long, she organized a live Instagram Video Flashmob every day from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. German time, to which up to 300 people danced simultaneously with her for an hour. Everybody uses their own headphones and listens to their own music. Everybody dances their own style to their favourite music. If you just watched the Instagram video without dancing or listening to music yourself, you heard a silence that was only disturbed by the artist's breathing and saw how the artist moved according to her own standards. The dance performance had a homely atmosphere, not least because of the living room in which it took place. If one got involved, the silence and calmness also created a kind of closeness that almost made one forget the virtual cool character of this transmission. One could almost think that, in addition to the fitness, one was also there.
