PRIMORDIAL DANCE is a participatory performance initiated by D.E. Franklin. Anybody can participate in Primordial Dance.

Primordial Dance means that if you have a minimum of 5 year's experience in a movement discipline, you do any kind of movement or "dance" you want in a public place for a certain amount of time. You print out a copy of the QR code (see below) and put it near you, so if people take pictures or videos, the QR code could be in the picture. The QR code just links back to the homepage of PrimordialDance.com so that more people can find out about Primordial Dance. If you post pictures or videos on social media, you can write about your movement practice and tell people about it.

We aren't selling anything or asking for money. Primordial Dance is not a specific style of dance. The purpose is to inspire people to do interesting movements in public, to activate public space, and to encourage people to enjoy moving their bodies.
