A Place Between Mass & Echoes

Inviktus is a roller-skating dance collective of seven LGBTQIA+ and POC performers.

A Place Between Mass & Echoes is a dance show using elements of hip hop, circus, and Latin social dance with live DJing, Inviktus transforms the familiar dance circle into a ritual using repetitive dance moves, high energy tricks, naturalistic movements and rest. The show pulses between spectacle and intimacy, celebration and grief, asking: What happens when no one enters the circle? What if the dance becomes a story instead?

Inviktus is a rollerskating collective founded in 2024 by director and Guinness World Record-holding circus artist Symoné. Made up of seven experienced skaters from the global street skate community, the group combines choreographed routines with freestyle skating, drawing on influences from house dance, roller disco, and circus.

As a director, Symoné brings a background in live art, theatre, and outdoor performance, with previous works exploring queer identity, power, and community. Their approach to Inviktus reflects this, focusing on collaboration, movement, and creating space for hushed voices in public spaces. Past outdoor dance/circus works include Euphorica (2022), a dance show about queer symbolism and non-verbal communication. Fierce Flow (2018-2019) is a circus piece exploring Black queer joy; and UTOPIAN (t&c’s apply), a live art circus on power and hierarchy. They’ve directed across both traditional and non-traditional spaces, and were appointed an Artist of Change (2020-2021) at ARC Stockton to rethink how institutions engage with artists.
