With rousing enthusiasm, expressive images and infectious dance sequences, “Nowhere is a place” is a tribute to the dance style of krumping. Krump originated in the Afro-American community of Los Angeles in the early 1990s as a form of danced resistance against social inequality and discrimination. This powerful dance serves as a creative outlet as well as a means of expression for what concerns and moves the dancers. Krumping can also be seen as a prayer – Krump stands for “Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise”.

In a danced lecture, the choreographer Anne-Marie Van, alias Nach, will talk about the origins and significance of krump, its development into an artistic and community-building practice and how the spirit of krump is echoed in the Andalusian duende. “Nowhere is a Place” interweaves Nach's artistic influences with archival materials and anthropological research on the Krump community. She gives an impressive account of her encounter with the highly codified world of krump, its battles, its freestyle sessions in the street and its powerful energies.
