We Are Here is an interdisciplinary dance work that aspires to actualise a fresh form by interweaving expressions of Krump, Contemporary Dance, Hip-Hop and Spoken Word. This work unfolds through a non linear narrative, piecing together a series of vignettes anchored in dance, placing empathy at the forefront of the Asian diasporic experience.
​
We Are Here bears witness to the resilience that is bred through the tension between self discovery and familial adversity of the contemporary Asian-Australian story. Diving into different narratives of being misunderstood, displaced or pressured to meet expectations that aren’t one’s own.
 
2022 Premiere season presented by Dancehouse as part of Season One.

"It was a physically confronting piece, with sweat flying, floorboards reverberating and screams echoing through the theatre. A brave and important piece." - Leila Lois, Arts Hub
