To compete or not to compete. I decided not to, since I knew there was no chance for finals anyway and I was too scared of showing up at that moment. So I decided to make sure I make something out of it I feel more comfortable with: documenting the ones competing. While it felt a bit like hiding behind the camera, it also felt relieving to allow myself not to feel ready. Although I agree with @slops__ , with whom I shared a nice chat about it afterwards, that you never „feel like it“. The more you expose yourself to performances, the more you get used to it. So no chickening out next time.

So I took another challenge: making this post. I usually don’t shoot in burst mode, since it feels like cheating. I’d rather catch the perfect moment like with a film camera than spray and pray. But the movements were so quick that I gave it a shot. While scrolling through the pictures, I discovered that the pray worked and beautiful stop-motion animations had been created. So I tried to make a mixture of the spotlight exposure the people encountered and their actual movement within it.

The goal was to eliminate as much noise from the spectators and surroundings as possible and show the brutal exposure performers experience while they are on stage.

Thanks @alexandremccormack for this great festival @jazzerzonline .
Thank you @the_jazz_dolphin for introducing me to the scene, the people and showing me around.
Thank you @astroakay for inviting me 1.5 years ago. I am so glad I finally made it and was welcomed so warmly. 🫰🏻
Thanks also to @ainaraprieto.soul for sharing your skills and philosophy of dancing.
@swinghappy you are just hell of a performer. 

If I didn’t tag someone in the pictures, hit me up. I can also provide you with the originals. 

About the song: just found this recently and find it amazing to see how jazz moved all around the world and has different flavors all around the continents.
