Nach continues to tell her story in the sequel to her danced lecture Nulle part est un endroit. For the choreographer, who for a long time felt hitched to krump, speaking is a necessity, and eloquence is never the end goal.
Although Nach long thought that she star-ted krumping because she didn’t know how to speak, the dancer and choreographer is now convinced that she can indeed speak. Animated by a desire for verbal articulation, she has written the follow-up to her danced lecture Nulle part est un endroit**. In the first episode, she defined krump – the cathartic dance style that emerged from the deprived neighbourhoods of Los Angeles – as ultimately leaving her feeling cramped and pigeonholed; and she related how, in her new choreographic explorations from butoh to flamenco, she has found a nowhere (nulle part) that to her has become somewhere, a place from where she is continuing her personal narrative. And now, with images, words and gestures, she tells us how she needs to tell a story; and lifts the lid on her big inspirations, her doubts, her challenges, taking us behind the scenes of her latest creation, Elles disent. In this group piece, the choreographer’s first, language is not necessarily eloquent, and bearing witness does not always mean being perfectly intelligible.
