we do it here.
The 4 key actions
Keep your phone off the dancefloor
Avoid intrusive lights
Prioritize presence and listening
Ask permission before photographing
How to apply it
Slide the phone in your pocket — and forget it. If you need it, step off the floor. For photos, always ask permission.
Why it matters
Collective intimacy and the right to live without being filmed. Your real presence, your unfiltered pleasure. Others' right not to be captured without consent.
When to apply it
As soon as you hit the dancefloor. Before reflexively lighting up your screen. When the urge to document outweighs the urge to live the moment.
What this means in practice
Keep your phone off the dancefloor as much as possible
Avoid any intrusive light (screen, flash, video)
Prioritize presence, eye contact, listening and movement
Accept that some moments exist only in collective memory
⚖ Legal framework
In Québec, every person has the right to respect of their private life and their image (Charter of Rights, art. 5; Civil Code, art. 35-36). Photographing or filming without consent may constitute a violation of these rights.
