Creation explores the realities of sexuality and gender. One has to answer for them self why they wear a mask to hide their face and yet the body movement expresses loudly who they really are.

SYNOPSIS
Take a look at me and tell me what you see. You don't have to love me but l am not your enemy. They never
talk positive; their words are full of parasites sucking people‟s minds and poisoning them with hatred. Walk in
good ways to have long days. If you feel what you are doing is right then why do you hide behind a mask?
Why then do you hate and turn your attention to a little guy who points from the sideline. For sure, power
doesn't change who you are but it reveals who you are. Be very careful with that you are preaching? We are
not stupid nor your fools clearly we have been to school.

SHORT STORIES
The student companies will work on their choreographies in relation to the festival’s theme : Transit. The choreographies will be presented at In2IT International Dance festival, as a program for young aspiring choreographers on Tuesday 4.October in Festiviteten.
The aim is to inspire young dancers to explore their creativity and their right to free expression. Choreography as a tool for framing expressions into different context is an important skill that puts things into perspectives. Here the dancers/creators will learn how to problem solve and to analyse situations from different perspectives. This skill in art can become useful in life.
