Abstract

The care map displays a community of moshers— an improvised and uninhibited formation of people whose dancing style responds to punk and hardcore music through bodily contact at speed. The intensity of these genres of music brings people together in ways that are both unpredictable and uncertain. There is a release of energy that surges to compose a swarm of collectivity. The capacity to respond within the immediacy of changeable situations, can be linked to adaptivity and resilience. It is a display of both expression and community making represented the formation of in-the-moment decision making within a context of volatile situations. The choreography of care displayed within moshing reflects the supports that surround us as we move through life. This is a dance that is vigorous, portraying a life in motion hitting up against restrictions, and then bouncing back again. And yet we are with others who circle around the same challenges and desires to liberate through a shared endeavour of solidarity. Releasing our potential through a dedicated sense of purpose and a demonstration of trust out of bounds.
