You will see buttocks and rhythm
“a booty symphony
performance art thrusts us into spaces where women are scuttling monsters, gliding damsels, armoured heroes and growling villains of their own making!
just like the liberation & shame fuelled battle within twerk space, the form of VW will unleash this struggle as a machine that purges the different emotions, feelings and experiences fearlessly.
the gilded cage of the female form is Moulded. Stretched. And smashed to pieces throughout by the "booty clan"
'Twerk' = Booty Dancing
When we say booty dancing we mean all things
hips, waist, booty and pelvis.
The various ways the booty and hip area is able to dance, isolate and move through melody and rhythms.
Widely known as “twerk” the movement is a part of 'booty dancing' evolution. Popularised through African American culture holding much significance within New Orleans Bounce and across hiphop genres
“Whining, Popping, Thrusting, Gyrating, Jiggling, Flicking, Clapping, Isolating, Shaking, Bouncing, Wiggling!”
