In The End, We Ascend by Dani Kyengo O'Neill

Dani Kyengo O’Neill | In The End, We Ascend

In The End, We Ascend is a fun choreographic/site-specific piece by Dani Kyengo O'Neill playing with the senses of appearance and disappearance through dance, the body, boundaries and space. The artist playfully discombobulates the logic of audience visualization and sensory perception bound up in traditional notions of audience perspective, drawing parallels between dance and architecture that reveal different configurations of subjectivity, thresholds and inside/outside bodily borders. 

Dani Kyengo O'Neill (b. Johannesburg) is a Kenyan-South African filmmaker, composer, and artist working through sonic and film-based archiving, storytelling and world-building. Their practice brings together the lens, choreography and sonic composition, with performance and dialogues of grief, land and body, somatic memory, tension, tempo and time. Their work is concerned with sound, soma and storytelling as departure points for their craft.
