ARK | Connor Schumacher

Raging Against Various Elements is a loud, dark, flashy and ecstatic performance, bursting with a lust for life. With six professional ravers, Connor shows how grief, pain, love, pleasure, dance and death expose the fire of life and how it burns on the dance floor.

According to Connor, dance creates an environment that helps process, practice, explore and release that which we cannot control. With this multidisciplinary performance, Schumacher challenges everyone to collectively push the envelope. Even if we cannot control anything, we do have autonomy over ourselves.

Raging Against Various Elements has been nominated for the VSCD Zwaan most impressive dance production 2025.
