To be Not me is a 15 minute duet centered around social connection combining acrobatics, contemporary dance, partnering and partner threading. The performers go through the all too familiar dance of getting to know a new person and all that it implies. Excitement, awkwardness, joy and conflict.

As a creator, I have three main focus points:

Making genuine and personal performance art.

Creating unique movement and theatrical propositions.

Addressing topics that will always appear in human society, no matter your viewpoint or timeframe.
