Dance Gathering is an invitation from the maiskind community to transform our public spaces into places of fun, queer identities and celebration. The maiskinder - children of maize - share poems and impulses to guide and interact with the audience. The audience can interact, follow, watch and leave at any time. No previous dance experience is required, but the joy of chocolate.
maiskind is inspired by the ancestral knowledge of maize. This knowledge manifests itself in many forms and challenges Western perspectives. For example, maiskind seeks community not in the equality of all, but in their differences. Because “it's not about you, it's about all of us.”
