Experimental dance collective YOUNG BOY DANCING GROUP was initiated in 2014 as a mercurial performance group. Their site-specific live work is characterised by intense and genre-defying physical performances that blur the lines between dance, sculpture and ritual. Their work has been described as “immersive studies in physical intensity, sensuality, and extreme absurdity” by Spike Magazine. Their object-based practice draws from the distinctive costuming, staging and physicality of the live performances, standing as relics, remnants, witnesses and snapshots of past exersion and collective moments.
