On a set dominated by a rocky, snow-covered landscape, five performers deconstruct and elaborate on the Milly Rock, taking this dance move that broke the Internet and turning it inside out. Created by New York rapper 2 Milly, the Milly Rock was shamelessly ripped off by the popular video game Fortnite, becoming a viral sensation. But who owns a dance move? asks U.S. choreographer Jeremy Nedd. Can anyone who wants to appropriate dances created by Black communities? And if so, who benefits?
At once intimate and sweetly exuberant, combining low-fi atmosphere with magical lyricism, from rock to rock… aka how magnolia was taken for granite reveals the many possibilities of Milly Rocking. It’s a work of liberating virtuosity and poetic resistance that pays homage to social dances and the people who create them.
