Wéi navigates connection and belonging to everywhere and nowhere. Exploring how a group can ‘write’ a cohesive dance/story together on stage which begins with two questions: What makes us who we are? When do we become us? Is it memory (biological) or is it imitation (experience) or is it all preordained and our fate is set? Or perhaps it is about interactions within the group and as we work and play the political dynamic is what gives us direction and makes us who we are. How do we connect? How do we know when we’ve made a connection? There are many fleeting moments when we become who we are as individuals and times when we truly and deeply connect with others.
