Can dance moves belong to someone? And if they can, who actually profits? Jeremy Nedd seizes on these questions, taking as his starting point the lawsuit filed by the rapper 2 Milly against a video games company, claiming copyright for a dance move (emote) resembling “The Milly Rock” sold on the online game Fortnite. The Brooklyn choreographer now based in Basel tackles the complex issue of dance copyright, updated to the era of internet dances going viral. Four performers reprise the short dance of nonchalant swaying in hoodies, creating a multiplicity of variations around this phrase. What poetry will emerge from these moves that flourish and circulate freely on social media?
