THIS DANCE HAS NO END (2018) PERFORMANCE FOR CAMERA year of production: 2018 duration: 10:53 format: 16:9 | 1920x1080 camera: single shot by Daz Disley performance: Fenia Kotsopoulou location: Lincoln (UK) Synopsis: "What happens when someone dies is that we, the living, contain their memory within us ... They will live on in us, and we will celebrate them. And dance like there is no tomorrow". Diane Torr A dance dedicated to artist, drag king and gender activist Diane Torr who passed away in May 2017. A year to the day, I dance in a black room : a single shot fusing male and female as ode to life and death. Traditional urban zeybekiko dance of Rebetiko, exclusively danced by men is danced by my hybrid manifestation - blended aspects of my identity. In silence I hear Diane's words "Take space with all your being. Own the space". I lift my arms and dance like there is no tomorrow as the camera follows. No edits or retakes : the aim is not to please or excite but to offer myself as site for collective unburdening.
