For the third installation of FORMATIONS OF BODIES, Nicole Miller's two-channel video installation DAGGERING (2012) juxtaposes the social realities of opposing dance styles – classical ballet and daggering, a Caribbean street dance – with personal histories of identity formation on the dancefloor.

3 1⁄2 begun with FORMATIONS OF BODIES, an examination of social functions of dance and choreography, presenting two videos to begin with: Mark Leckey's FIORUCCI MADE ME HARDCORE (1999), and Jean-Luc Godard's famous dance scene from BANDE À PART (1964).

For its second edition, Christian Falsnaes presented his installation OPENING following his performance at KW in September 2013.
