A person is standing with their back to their camera and a person is facing the camera but they are more transparent with an image overlaid on top of the original image. The overlaid image shows a person with light brown skin and long curly hair pulled into an updo. They are resting their left hand on their forehead and wearing a gray short sleeve shirt. The person with their back to camera is wearing a dark-colored tank top, a bunch of silver necklaces stacked, and a silver glitter belt. They have light skin and short brown hair. The background is black with blue lights shining on the two people.
Description

“When I dance, that is my true gender.” In Dance, Dance, Evolution six trans-identified people explore their relationship to dance over time. As one participant says, “What I feel when I’m dancing is the very decomposition of myself.” This short, joyful documentary looks at the ways in which the body in motion opens up the spaces between gender, race, and time, producing pleasure in indeterminacy. This begs the question, how do we take that idealized moment on the dance floor--where nothing matters but the beat--and take it with us everywhere we go?
