Join sharedelusion, a contemporary dance collective founded by Lucy Flippen and Magaly Gallagher, as they present see me to see you. We aim to capture through dance the beauty of connection between people. This work researches the understanding of one's own identity through relationships with friends, with family, with oneself. To begin the research, Lucy and Magaly used Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza by Gloria Anzalda and Dispossesion: The Performative in the Political by Judith Butler and Athena Athanasiou. The ideas from these writers inspire Lucy and Magaly to move and create images. Specifically, they think about how the buzzwords (and phrases) become movement, which often validates felt realities. We would like you to view the dancers as people who consider each other the context under which they are dancing. They are constantly responding to each other. Every action is a reaction.

We are stretching the physical image of twinskin
We are getting lost in the metaphors that describe boundaries between two people
We are holding onto our sense of self through family history (known and unknown)
We have been shaped
