Off the Hook | Sara Zano
About This Event
Off the Hook, presented at Berlin, features Sara Zano's contemporary choreography built from repetition, gesture, and shifts in attention. Her work treats choreography as close observation, favoring clarity over spectacle and keeping the body's decisions visible — a process-driven, small-scale approach that aligns with New York audiences attuned to rigorous, detail-focused dance.
About Off the Hook
Off the Hook has a second life in New York culture: a long-running, hacker-rooted radio forum hosted by Emmanuel Goldstein that tracks how technology, power, and law collide in everyday life. Broadcast from WBAI in the city and carried online and as a podcast, it helped normalize public, on-air conversations about digital rights well before they became mainstream topics. At Berlin, the title is repurposed for a dance event featuring Sara Zano, drawing a line between systems of control and the body’s own codes. The name lands as a quiet critique of how “freedom” is negotiated.
