the emergent character of Identity Program 2.28

A live concert about discovering and communicating Identity ​

Identity is the liminal space between self-reflection and outward expression. This means identity is not fixed, but rather a continually emerging process of discovery and communication. Sometimes, sharing parts of ourselves is painful. To avoid this pain, many choose to hide and censor their identity. In turn, opportunities for growth and self-discovery are stifled. The emergent character of Identity captures the sounds and emotions of overcoming identity suppression, and celebrates the catharsis of freedom. ​
