I_AM

Improvisation, Awareness, and Movement in Connection to your Personal Identity
A research-based movement workout by Robin Nimanong

ROBBEDUZ invites dancers into a movement practice that blurs the line between internal landscapes and external presentation—where stillness pulses with energy and visibility becomes a soft ritual. Moving between meditation and momentum.

This practice is an ongoing research (very much inspired by Gaga’s movement language)—here the body thinks, the breath is followed, and silence becomes a partner in motion. I_AM is deeply informed by queer thinking, embracing vulnerability, and with the politics of presence and body positivity. Participants are encouraged to arrive as they are—open, raw, and ready to explore. Instead of result driven, we want to be in this moment, expand our imagined boundaries. Therefore we don’t aim to replicate form, but dissolve into sensation, intuition, and queer embodiment and presentation.

Rooted in personal research and lived experience, Nimanong draws from their past work experience with Marina Abramović and their involvement in the Dutch ballroom scene, especially in the style of Vogue-Femme. Even though these different worlds look like contradictions, they can fulfill eachother and therefore enrich the dancers toolbox.

I_AM is both delicate and intense—unusual, yet deeply human. It’s a queer ritual of undoing binaries, and allowing to play with presentation.
Where each dancer is invited to claim their ownership of movement through the research.
This is an invitation to wake up you senses, while restructuring your own physical logic.
