C-Over

— the realities of working on the streets —

decriminalization
the removal of all criminal and administrative prohibitions and penalties on sex work, including laws targeting clients and brothel owners

"C-Over" is dance-theater piece which gives an insight into the stories and experiences of sex workers and stands for the de-criminalization of the work.

"C-Over" was created in Zagreb, Croatia through a process where we researched and explored the topic of sex work through different testimonies, academic papers and movement explorations.

We did physical research with BMC (body-mind centering) focusing on the pelvis (a part of the body deeply connected with this topic) as well as contact improvisation where we could research touch and being in relation with other people. We explored with costumes relevant to the topic, specifically pajamas, allowing them to influence our movement and creation. We also had a lot of reflection and conversation in the process through speaking, writing and drawing.

Through our process we came to the conclusion that decriminalization of consensual sex work is the best policy for promoting the health and human rights of sex workers, their families, and communities.
