Abstract
In this article, the New Sh*t platform at Dansehallerne in Denmark is analysed and criticised, as a means to investigate the fruition of its motivation to help strengthen the Danish dance ecosystem. By introducing thoughts on the transindividual self and the ecological self, I argue that as long as the platform mainly allows young Danish choreographers to show solo work, it cannot bring much change about to the conditions of production under which they already work. I argue why I believe the Danish dance scene could be at the forefront of changing the individualistic production mode of modern day Europe and how the (forgotten) mode of collaboration holds a potential for an ecological shift away from the neoliberal impetus.
