Marion Motin and Swaggers A new generation of leading female Hip-hop dancers A new kind of Hip-hop: classy and alternative Hip-hop is a tough game in which only the best survive. In the heavily male-dominated Hip-hop industry, principal dancer and choreographer Marion Motin has set out to demonstrate that in a universe of Hip-hop, women can ‘own’ the place. Motin constructs In the Middle like a movie with light a key part. Motin uses spotlights to mimic the flashing lights of cameras in order to intensify the atmosphere. She loves images and displays that defy obvious explanations – indeed, she describes the show as “a multitude of emotions, encounters, stages, as well as music, images, gestures …”, allowing her audiences to contribute to making their own interpretations.
