DISQUIET

sensational aesthetics of a technokin 

After approaching hardcore techno dancing from her own background through the style of gabber in the pieces Camouflaging Kelly(2014) and SOFTCORE(2018), Lisa Vereertbrugghen now continues her research with sound designer Michael Langeder to includeother hardcore dance styles, like UK jungle, drum-‘n-bass and other contemporary hardcore varieties in an attempt tofind andactivate their common ground.

One element that connects these underground substyles (besides their high speed) is the disruptionof the flow with pauses, breakbeats and complex intermittent rhythms.  In DISQUIET dancing hardcore is considered a continuous breaking down of rules and regularity. Hardcore is approached as a kind of physical anarchy that wildly embraces noise and irregularity.
