I'm fine, thanks

2019



"I'm fine, thanks' is a 45 minute contemporary dance production which expresses the strive to perfection in our society. 


We are often exposed to an unrealistic ideal, which easily results in unrelenting black-and-white thinking. Media and social media play an important role in this. You can not  be tired, bored, unhappy, insecure and doubts are non-existent. Life has to be 'perfect' and so should we. To achieve perfection, ambition is needed. So what exactly does that mean?
