The Yonis are a contemporary movement girl band. They made their debut at Brainchild in ’17, accompanying the wonderful Don’t Problem to do an imrov music meets dance set. In their words they are “Inspired by gig culture, we want to recreate the shared feelings of joy, euphoria and togetherness that one feels when watching their favourite band. Our work brings contemporary dance to unexpected places and in doing so encourages audiences to break the audience/performer barriers, to dance with us, enabling a more embodied viewing experience. As an all-female collective we celebrate our bodies as vehicles to be physical, powerful and dynamic, finding strength in coming together to create, take up space and make noise”. Look out for their three dynamic performances around the festival site over the weekend!
