The first edition arrives on January 30 with original music, choreography and DJ sets
A new performance art series drawing directly from the aesthetics and energy of rave culture is set to debut in New York at the end of the month. Titled Future Forms, the project positions itself at the intersection of live performance, collective ritual and club culture, deliberately blurring the boundaries between choreography, sound and audience participation.
Conceived by artists EREZ and Tanguay, Future Forms emerged from an ongoing studio collaboration that explores how electronic music and contemporary dance can generate shared, embodied experiences. Described by its creators as “part performance, part participatory ritual and part club rave,” the series is conceived as an evolving format rather than a fixed theatrical work, allowing each iteration to shift in structure and emphasis.
The inaugural edition will take place on January 30 at National Sawdust in Brooklyn and will unfold across three conceptual “chapters.” The opening section, BASE, centres on original live music composed and performed by EREZ, accompanied by choreography by Tanguay that foregrounds repetition, physical endurance and rhythmic immersion. The second chapter, OUTPUT, moves decisively towards the logic of the dancefloor, transforming the venue into a rave environment with DJ sets from x3butterfly and Seb Wildblood. A third chapter is planned to premiere in later editions of the series.
Writing on Instagram, the collective notes: “An immersive performance that combines electronic music and contemporary dance, and evolves into a rave. This edition will introduce two sections, BASE and OUTPUT, with a third section premiering in later iterations.”
Tickets for the 30 January performance are available here.
