“No News” is an emerging dance juggling duet about the state of journalism in the modern world. It uses a television news format as the basis for an abstract, poetic piece, incorporating absurd humour. We – a waving dancer and a ball juggler – are exploring the connections of our disciplines and how these can relate to social themes including integrity, neutrality, and authority.
Our work twists the well-known format of television news into a strange new space, inviting reflection, criticism, and an element of ridicule. We present a serious, neutral front, but we do not hide the fact that this is superficial – it may crack and even crumble sometimes. Through this, we question the authority that news holds, where it comes from and where it ends.
