Nele Tiidelepp’s performance "nights around counting steps (and fade to black)" is a process of exploring the possibilities of finding rhythm and falling out of it through dance and choreography.

Rhythm is a way of dividing time, accompanied by emotional implications. Rhythm is a time-space surrounded by beats. What happens during a beat is clear. What remains between two beats is a blank space, something to be filled in.

Four performers speak and dance, try to remember the past, copy each other, move through space with momentum, carry on and repeat. While we dance, we ask ourselves: which choreographies do we remember from our lives? What kind of dances are we allowed to perform?

Nele Tiidelepp (she/her) is an Estonian multidisciplinary artist and writer who graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts with a degree in installation and sculpture.
Her work is driven by interest in other people and social dynamics and spaces of horizontal hierarchy. She works with autobiographical materials, and looks at choreography and dancing from the perspective of an outsider, with a curious and spontaneous momentum. Tiidelepp is currently obtaining a MA in choreography and performance in Justus Liebig Universität, Giessen.
