dance since 2008. They blend performance, film, photography, installation, literature, and drawing with activism. Their work focuses primarily on the body and the relationship between identity politics. For
the past few years, they are mostly exploring the issue of gender identity and the socio-cultural

concerns that relate to the gender practice of identities in a hetero-normative society. They run ‘Tehai:

performance, theatre, music, dance, film and literature.
