Creating space where presence is not questioned.
Belonging is not a document. It is something you feel — in a room where your presence is not questioned, in a meal where no one is a guest, in music that holds space for all the places you have been. This evening turns the Dominicuskerk into a space where belonging happens, through performance, storytelling, and shared food.

This is an exercise of our freedom to move and the freedom to gather.  No dance experience is required. Bring only your body and your willingness to be part of something bigger than yourself. We are making space for everyone we pass and welcoming all who wish to join.

Accessibility & Care: All bodies are welcome.
We move at a pace that holds everyone. Please contact our access support team at info@swarmmovement.org or @swarm.movement prior to the event so we can connect you with necessary accommodations

Accompanied by a live set from DJ Cheb Runner, we will move through the city as a radiating dancing swarm.
