Here's a few good memories of Dao Dance Festival in Germany last summer. π€©π
It was small, intimate and a very 1st tryout to see how people would respond to Ecstatic Dance on a psytrance festival, mixed with martial arts, contact improvisation and other forms of dance, movement and somatic exploration. ππΊ
Personally I've been playing stages like Boom and Ozora Festival as well as all kinds of small intimate gatherings and nowadays prefer the latter in most cases, as it's less transient and interhuman connections in general go deeper. βΊοΈ
Despite the incredible bad weather on most of the days, the main floor closed during several days during heavy torrential rain and unfortunately made a lot of people stay @ home instead of coming to the festival. βοΈβοΈβοΈ
The promoter is NOT giving up though and together with his awesome team, he will keep putting effort in creating a new form of conscious festival and have asked me again to participate as a DJ, which I consider as a real honor. π
In case you're curious about Dao Dance Festival, check their website, which will get updated with the new program over the following months. π
