Mirrors Backbone

Donna Chittick

“At one point I noticed how insecure I became with social media. Am I working hard enough? Am I lagging behind my peers? Both in the evening and in the morning I would almost obsessively read the comments under posts. This became a fixed ritual. Not only mentally, but also physically it started to take its toll. I had to step out, unfollow, unplug. By detaching myself from it I got breath and peace again. I found my balance again. The concept for Mirrors emerged from this experience .”

In the hip-hop dance performance Mirrors you see 4 dancers, who dance with the physical burden of too much digital information. Who has the right to hide? Who takes the right to share and who judges whom?

A struggle between participating in the virtual world and at the same time losing contact with others and yourself.
