A performative diptych examining how collective choreographies reflect the socio-political climate of their time. The project emerges from an extensive process of research and production, resulting in two performative works, supported by complementary media such as podcasts and reports.

​

Collective Cadence is a performative conference exploring the dynamic between individuality and collectivity through the lens of artificial intelligence- conceived and performed by Simona Deaconescu (choreographer) and Grigore Burloiu (creative technologist).

​

BPM - Beats per Millennium is a contemporary dance solo tracing the history of clubbing in Romania as a form of cultural and political expression. It marks the choreographic debut of one of Romania’s most acclaimed dancers, Simona Dabija.

​

The visual identity echoes the approach of Retro Rec, using the same bold typography and illustrated character design. Given the subtle conceptual link between the two projects, Rhythms & Crowds characters borrow visual cues from the Retro Rec universe - scaled up and multiplied to evoke crowds and motion.

​

All elements are deployed within a shared, modular design system, allowing for adaptable compositions across formats and platforms.
