Who am I today?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Choreographer Demy Papathanassiou invites audiences into a deeply personal exploration of identity, drawing on the lived experiences of Crips and their relationship to mental health.
\nEach day in the studio begins with a question: \u201cWho am I today?\u201d From this starting point, the work asks what a Crip or different body can bring to the stage, and whether its mental health is experienced differently from others.
\nThrough movement, reflection, and raw honesty, Who Am I Today? confronts themes of trauma, acceptance, discovery, and personal growth \u2014 offering a space for both individual and collective connection.<\/p>\n
