Nowhere is a Place

Nach Van Van Dance Company

“Nulle part est un endroit” (Nowhere is a Place) is a homage to the dance style of Krumping. Krump stands for “Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise” and developed in the early 1990s in African-American communities in Los Angeles. This powerful dance form serves as an expression of danced resistance against social inequality and discrimination – and offers a creative outlet for what concerns and moves the dancers. In a danced lecture, choreographer Anne-Marie Van, aka Nach, talks about the origins and significance of Krump, its development into an artistic and community-building practice and how the spirit of Krump resonates in the Andalusian Duende. “Nowhere is a Place” interweaves Nach's artistic practice with archival materials and anthropological research on the Krump community. She gives an impressive account of her encounter with the highly coded world of Krump, the battles, the freestyle sessions on the streets and the intense energies of this dance form.
