Presented sequentially in A4's video room over a three-month period, the selected films are an associative response to the provocation by the political activist and writer Emma Goldman (1869–1940): "If I can’t dance, it’s not my revolution".

The films witness forms, dance, movement and dialogue. The selection is a query into the multifarious ways in which art and activism intersect, dealing with such disparate starting points as a Nintendo Wii controller, an 18th-century opera, and army cadets; all of which move towards a consideration of how dance and movement can embody or represent activism.
