Naissa’s story unfolds through movement—each step, each turn reflecting his journey of transformation. In the film In Motion, we witness how dance becomes a bridge between Naissa and his mother, a medium for unspoken emotions, struggles, and love. The film captures the power of expression beyond words, showing how identity is more than just a label—it’s a feeling, an evolving truth.
Through Dancing Together, we invite you to explore the often-overlooked experiences of trans individuals and their communities. Uncover the rich history of trans identities across time, place, and cultures. Delve into the challenges trans people face today and the protections in place to support them. Discover how inclusive language plays a crucial role in fostering a more accepting society.
“I would like people to feel really immersed into Naissa’s world and experience. He is a dancer and in dance, he has a tool to explore shifting identity, the relationship between inner and physical self, and the process of disclosing his transness. I hope the audience will get a chance to experience this crossing of inner and outer worlds, the powerful moments of self-expression and his journey towards self-empowerment.”
