dissplay

dance
Growing up online - can we be offline? How much are we ourselves when we are constantly being watched? Every post, every story, every photo... The world has turned into a showcase of the best versions of ourselves. But who are we without the reflection we so carefully edit for others?

Dissplay is a dance journey by Jitka Sara Páníková and Tereza Lenerová, who ask the same question as you: how caught up are we in the pressure of our surroundings, in the trap of the digital world, in the desire to be seen - and yet not lose ourselves?

Let's slow down for a moment. Stop worrying about what we look like on the outside and start noticing what's going on inside. We may find that the greatest relief comes the moment we stop wanting to fit in. And that the world is actually quite funny when we allow ourselves - and especially ourselves - to make fun of it.

She began her dance career at the Duncan Centre Dance Conservatory in Prague, where she specialized in contemporary dance and physical theatre. Outside of the Czech dance scene, she has had the opportunity to draw on various artistic approaches that have greatly influenced her movement qualities and transformed her artistic vocabulary. Her international experiences include studying in the Certificate Program at the Peridance Capezio Center in New York, earning a Master's degree in Performing Public Space at Fontys University of Performing Arts in the Netherlands, and gaining work experience in the Chinese cities of Chengdu and Shenzhen and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
