Society pressures people to conform to norms around gender, appearance and behavior. Ultimately, this pressure benefits those in power, because conformity makes people easier to control and helps preserve existing power structures.

Where I End. is an immersive dance-theatre work exploring how productivity and social systems shape us—and how reclaiming connection, community, and self can lead us back home.

This production utilizes collaborative choreography, led by Tony Nguyen. The performers of TwoPoint4 Dance Theatre were tasked with journaling assignments, recalling personal experiences, movement creation and community research showings in order to help develop the production. These research tools have allowed for an enriching narrative with authentic and diverse personal perspectives.

“Where I End.” & Our Community

Throughout the creation process we turned to the community by hosting 2 Community Research Sessions. During these sessions we showcased works in progress. After the showings, we asked for feedback from participants to understand their view of what was in development. Based on their feedback, we edited, cleaned or cut pieces that didn’t resonate with the overall storyline.
