‘Why We Dance’ (podcast)
Episode of the podcast ‘The Clearing’, hosted by Carrie Walter (2025)
Episode Description:
“People have always gathered to dance. It’s a peculiar feature of Western modernity that we don’t anymore; or rather, that we limit the opportunities for dance into such contained and private subcultures. In doing so, I think we deprive ourselves of some pretty brilliant social tech. Soroa Lear is a professional dancer and co-creator of Vibrant Body, a popular dance practice in Berlin Kreuzberg. We talk about how dance can be a playful take on traditional roles, a collective ritual of identity transcendence, or a very private pleasure practice. We also speculate about why straight white men seem to struggle so much more than other people with this deeply human form of self-expression. Also, Soroa articulates why we should all go clubbing, in case anyone needs an intellectual framework for that”
