Young Boy Dancing Group

TO YBDG

For over a decade I ve been a core member of Young Boy Dancing Group, a shifting collective that blurred the borders between dance, performance, nightlife, and community. YBDG was never a company in the traditional sense — it was a living organism, constantly mutating with whoever was present. We performed in clubs, museums, streets, and private apartments, always refusing fixed formats or the safety of repetition. For me, it was a school without walls, where performance was stripped of hierarchy and rebuilt from desire, risk, and collective presence.

Being inside YBDG meant living inside a body larger than my own. I learned how performance could travel without a stage, how intimacy could become choreography, how failure could be celebrated as transformation. It gave me the language of raw presence, of improvisation, of building worlds that existed only for one night and then disappeared.
