Two classically trained dancers, one in Ballet and the other Bharatnatyam, examine the questions that come with dance, identity, and moving beyond the classical form.

Born a couple of days apart on opposite sides of the world, Amanda
Miller (US) and Viji Rao (India) both began their classical training
at the age of four. Now, thirty years later, following professional
classical careers, they are both engaged in their own unique forms of
contemporary dance. In How am I not Myself?, together with Tobin
Rothlein's video artistry, Miller and Rao dance their stories in an
exciting new work of mythology, media, and madness.
