TeXstep Taking the trajectory of social dancing from memories of Brightons Regents Music Hall to todays Oceana superclub, and beyond, TeXstep asks what would it be like if we didnt have to be physically there? -If we could out-source all the noisy, sweaty awkward, drink fuelled bit and have someone do that for us. Taking inspiration from a comment made by a former regular of the Regent Dancehall in the 1950s, Ken Ross, and thoughts of Slovoj Zizek, the installation explores the nature of intimacy, touch, dance and bodily contact. I pity the boys now, as when they so called dance (unlike us) they do not hold a girl in their arms. If in my days you.. ask her to dance in a dance hall ..hey presto you were up close and often in bodily contact.Ken Ross The aim is not to judge, but instead to offer an alternate social dance scenario for us to explore. - One that slips times and spaces mixing memories with descriptions and predictions, and even live direct instructions. The results will be varied, funny, weird, detached and engaging, but the experience all the richer for having a go.. Come and enjoy the private suite….
