Hasta abajo sin miedo

Abstract

The creation of the first twerk play in Bogotá "Down without fear" was created by Laura Yuliana Bedoya Rodriguez, director and founder of Subverbooty, the group that serves as the main cast of the play. Made up of diverse people in terms of gender, age, profession, and ideals and who in twerk have found a safe place of expression in the face of different episodes of physical and/or psychological attacks that they have gone through with respect to their body and their movements. This group approaches twerk as a place of enunciation of diverse bodies, capable of expressing through the movement of the hips and buttocks the enjoyment of this dance, giving value to the discovery and appropriation of its sensuality and eroticism, promoting a safe space for those bodies. who seek a place of recognition and practice of this technique, with the aim of bringing this dance out of the clandestinity caused by its stigmatization, inhabiting and proclaiming the place that has been denied to us in society, even in public spaces.
