SXK 26-NO I AM NOT

NO IM NOT digs into the abuse power dynamics within the dance world. Challenging the façade of wellness often presented in the sector, the piece shows how dancers struggle with their mental health in a toxic work environment – navigating systemic abuse, manipulation, and unrealistic expectations in their professional lives. NO IM NOT is a continuation of Are You Okay?, Panos’ previous full evening group work, which showcases the duality of the dancers’ experiences, unravelling the dissonance between the societal pressure to appear “okay”, and their inner turmoil.
