A ritual of femme power and connection rooted in two decades of research and participation in street and contemporary dance cultures.
Again, there is no Other: The Remix is a dark and joyful ritual merging street dance forms and contemporary dance. The work interrogates fear of the Feminine in patriarchal culture, asking: If perceptions of race and gender are inseparable, can we be a post-gender society when we are far from a post-race society? Through hybridizing the nightclub, the cypher (the circle), and the theater, six physically multilingual, femme-identified dancers explore touch, support, the imperative of connection, the tensions of identity, and the embrace of difference.
