Established in 2005, If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution is an art organisation dedicated to exploring performance and performativity as forms of social and political imagination. After many years of operating nomadically, we are now based in the former medical theatre of the Women’s Clinic of the Wilhelmina Gasthuis Hospital.
Working in collaboration with artists, researchers, activist groups, and practitioners across disciplines, we develop programmes that engage urgent social questions through artistic practice. Activities range from commissioned projects and performances to workshops, seminars, reading groups, and community-led gatherings. Across all our work, we remain committed to engaging with our historical, material, and political context through experimentation with embodied knowledge, pedagogy, and performance-based methodologies.
In addition to our public programme, If I Can't Dance maintain a library and archive open to anyone interested in performance within the visual arts, with a focus on feminist, queer, and otherwise marginalised perspectives, histories, and practices.
