Jeremy Nedd
from rock to rock aka how magnolia was taken for granite
Jeremy Nedd presents a new dance performance that’s both intimate and exuberant.
Choreographer Jeremy Nedd explores the world of popular dance movements on social media. Together with five dancers, he focuses on Milly Rock, a dance centred on a single arm movement on which variations are then made. Seemingly simple, but also rhythmically organic, the Milly Rock often crops up in memes and funny film clips. In the blink of an eye, this dance captured the internet and living rooms worldwide.
In from rock to rock aka how magnolia was taken for granite, Jeremy Nedd aims to approach Milly Rock from a choreographic perspective. What if Milly Rock were taken seriously? What could this dance movement then achieve, not only choreographically, but also socially and economically? Anyone who saw The Ecstatic last season knows that this new creation will be a dance performance that is both intimate and exuberant.
