Discofoot© is an ass kickin, DJ spinin, maybe even twerkin free-styling battle, where football's rules are twisted and thrashed by dance. Let the choreography of the ball take you on a ride that passes the unknown and spectacular possibilities of this dead serious performance of a football match...
You will never look at a pair of golden shorts and a "discofied" football the same way again!
The match/performance is played using the basic forms, placement and rules of European football (Soccer). BUT, with one defining factor. To move and/or travel on the field all are required to dance. Never at rest, a continuous improvisation develops that follows the ball but also pays close attention to artistic merit “the battle”, which is also a key element to winning the game.
To determine this artistic merit, a panel of three artistic judges present scores twice during the match, first after the half-time and then again at the end of the second half. These two rounds of scores are added to eventual goals to determine the winner. If, for ex a team has not scored a goal, but they have received higher scores from the judges who have deemed them superior dancers, they may win.
Aside from the performative, the game also differs from professional football in its re-evaluation of equality and norms within gender, culture, and esthetics. The indifference to one gender teams only allows for greater possibilities on the field. This match doesn’t have time for the usual hyper masculinity attributed to football – we’re just too busy dancing. When performed and received as it should be, Discofoot© shakes, shimmies and twirls us further away from our society’s cumbersome classifications.
