This film is based on a live performance that premiered on August 2019 at Dixon Place, NYC. The work has also been performed at Under St. Marks Theatre in NYC via FEAST Performance Series, and again at Dixon Place in February 2020 in FEMME FEST. The full work is 25 minutes long. 

​

Can a pair of shoes change your identity? If we don’t know the answer, do we know who we are? Through the duality of abstract vs. theatrical storytelling, “Are you or do you?” aims to explore these questions surrounding identity and more. This duet explores ‘hand-ography’ and the exact phrases from our hands are transferred into full body movements, tap and contemporary dance conversing. But the full embodiment leads us to question why we take up space as female performing artists, what genre we belong to, and whether knowing or not knowing will defeat us - or push us to keep going.
