Vilnius City Dance Theater "Low Air" presents the dance performance "Two forward, one back". Dance artist Joseph Simon first learned about dance through break culture, and today he explores the intersections of ballet, house and modern dance, looking for a dialogue between different techniques and philosophies.

In the performance "Two forward, one back" Joseph collaborates with four young Lithuanian dancers who have completed dance studies abroad and have strong classical and street dance foundations. Two of them are alumni of the "Low Air" theater: Ugnė Irena Laurinavičiūtė studied dance at the AHK Amsterdam University of the Arts, Vaiva Paukštė at the Codarts University of the Arts in Rotterdam. Gabrielle Emily Aidulis, who returned from abroad for the creative process, studied at ArtEZ University of the Arts in the Netherlands, and Urtė Groblytė studied at P.A.R.T.S., a contemporary dance school. In Brussels.

Joseph Simon's latest work "Two forward, one back" was born from the continuing research cycle "Ballet Fantasias". The performance expands the boundaries of classical ballet with the help of street and club dance culture. The performance explores how two different worlds of dance can fit in one body - institutional dance and dance based on community and liberation. It raises questions not only about aesthetics and technique, but also about power and freedom of action, the relationship between tradition and progress, lightness and weight.

This is the first work of a foreign choreographer produced by the "Low Air" duo - Airidas Gudaitė and Lauryns Žakevičius.
