In this movie, Joseph Simon created a third culture space for himself and three brilliant bboys; Conni, Kid Colombia and Tawfiq: “This is a pilot project for a series of encounters between Ballet and other dance cultures. This is part of my larger body of work “ballet fantasies” in which I search for alternative forms and identities for ballet through intercultural dance encounters. Inspired by sociology and cultural studies, I call these spaces of encounter and mutual affect “Third culture spaces”. They are a liminal space that emerges from the interaction between the different values, aesthetics and philosophies of the cultures behind the dances.

Joseph Simon

Even though originally coming from breakdance, Joseph Simon also has a fascination for ballet. His first solo Third Culture Kid was the start of an ongoing research into what Joseph identifies as a ‘third culture space’ combining ballet with amongst others housedance and breakdance.
