Double Much Collective
Double Much Collective presents:
'Coiling in the Sun'
ABOUT
In this evolving performance, the ropes become more than tools for jumping – they
become ties. They keep rhythm, hold a group together, and honor the long lineage of
jumping as cultural resistance. From intense jumping to solemn stillness, soundscapes
and sequences, the work also reminds us of the Black feminist perspective that sees
Double Dutch not only as a game, but as a living practice of community, joy, and refusal. Performed by five artists and co-created with the site, Coiling Against the Sun invites audiences into a shifting space of rhythm and relation. The show closes with a shared moment where spectators become twirlers, jumpers, and co-creators. A kid-friendly version is also performed in the afternoon.
BIO
Double Much is a Berlin-based working group of five dance artists – Dani Brown, Justin
F. Kennedy, Nasheeka Nedsreal, Simo Vassinen, and Gabrielle von Wäre – who began
jumping rope together in the parks of Berlin during the 2020 lockdowns. What started as
a joyful act of gathering has grown into an artistic practice rooted in collective play, trance states, and embodied resistance. Double Dutch, with its deep roots in Black American feminist traditions, is a tool of movement, memory, resistance and togetherness. Double Much explores it through music, performance, crafting, vocal play, and improvised scores. Their first performance premiered at Sophiensaele (2023), with recent invitations including Theater an der Parkaue in 2024. Double Much believes in jumping as liberation, play as practice, ropes as ritual.
