Through movement, we raise our voice against war.
No More Wars is a 9:37-minute IBDAW dance film that shows the journey of a happy, united nation turning into a sad and isolated one. This is our way, as dancers, to stand for peace and humanity.
We hope to spread this message globally, so more people will stand for peace and civilizations.

What is IBDAW Dance?
What is IBDAW Dance?
IBDAW is not a dance style. It is a dance creation system - a stage between the abstract and the concrete.
Pronounced "Ibdaa", IBDAW is rooted in the Playing State Philosophy and uses any movement necessary and belongs to no single form. Contemporary, modern, and ballet techniques train the body, but they do not define the system.
IBDAW was created by Emeel Safie in 2012 out of a refusal to perform movement without meaning. In IBDAW, movement exists only if it serves the idea. If it does not, it is removed.
IBDAW is a playground for dancers, not a factory - a space for co-creation, inquiry, and clarity. What matters is to question, to feel, and to translate ideas into physical form.
