THIS IS MY PROTEST SIGN.

Debuted in 2017, THIS IS MY PROTEST SIGN. is both an honors thesis and dance performance that examines the intersections between dance, identity and social activism. Inspired by themes from my own life, this piece reflects on issues of racism, sexism, religious exclusion and identity formation of the choreographer and performers alike. The work evolved as a collaboration among scholars and artists each chosen to be a part of the process because of their movement and intellectual contributions to their community.

Bellow are highlights from the live performance. To read the thesis, “Arts in Action: A Study of the Intersectionality between Dance, Identity and Social Activism” please click HERE.
