![]() thinks across disciplinary boundaries and embraces a wide variety of approaches to the analytical study of the musics of the world, including indigenous methodologies, post-colonial, critical and queer perspectives and different indigenous methodologies. In this, it provides scholars from a multiplicity of academic backgrounds a forum for the discussion of musics from around the world, their dynamics and their many meanings, manifested in a variety of ever changing forms ranging from highly particular and localized systems of musical thinking in traditional musics to global (musical) cultural flows and consumption. The World of Music is an international peer-reviewed journal seeking a critical understanding of performing arts and cultural practices involving music, dance and theater worldwide, as well as the many contexts in which they come into being. Casting light on the role of the performing arts in making a home in the world, I will approach the dynamics of Les Twins’s dwelling with music and dance through the experiential, the moving and the relational. Here, I explore music and dance as dwelling practices through the work of the French dance duo Les Twins. This capacity of music and dance vis-à-vis everyday life worlds accounts for their significance in everyday life. Instead, they become strategies of (felt-)bodily practicing and rearranging time and space. As such, they do not represent or occupy time and space. Music and dance, therefore, are dwelling practices themselves. Such flexing invites an intensification of the sensation of being in the world which, in turn, allows those partaking in music and dance to make the world their own through sound and body movement. In this article, I suggest that the transitory and, to a significant extent, disciplined techniques of music and dance can be used towards a flexing of the lived experience. ![]()
