House Decoded takes you back to the essence of house dance: back to the free atmosphere of New York queer clubs where people came to dance and could be themselves. Because of house dance's popularity, it moved to the studio, making it necessary to codify dance. It became too much stuck in boxes while dance springs from freedom. The piece focuses on creating patterns and rhythmic games within house dance with influences from other dance styles. The performance shows an organic, non-codified style that reflects the original freedom of dance in an underground club setting.
House Decoded was part of ISH Open Nights 2024. Every year, ISH Dance Collective invites three new makers to develop an existing idea for choreography into a short piece. The makers rehearse in ISH's studio, edit the performance and present it in the theatre. ISH Open Nights fall under the pillar ISH Talent, in which ISH supports talented, new makers in their professional development.
