Hierarchy, control over one’s body, synchronisation – these associations belong to the world of ballet and the military. In the Anti-Fascist Ballet School, these categories will be exorcised, rather than reproduced. The Anti-Fascist Ballet School takes ballet as a starting point to reveal roles in the preservation of ideologies and power relations of the present. As social values and aesthetics have changed in our society, they have changed in ballet. This project goes back to the roots of ballet, examines its potential for empowerment, and rediscovers the activist body. The open trainings take place in the social biotopes of shopping malls, and are open to everyone, whether with previous knowledge or without. The Anti-Fascist Ballet School's Springtime Exorcism is open to all and offered as a dancing guide to collectively re-discover and loosen unconscious and deeply embedded modes of being while looking for the courage to face the unknown.
