ba(ME)

Produced and Performed by Julie Ann Minaai, 2021

A short dance film that explores the intertwined journey of being both an immigrant in the UK and a minority artist in the dance industry. The piece examines the situational experiences of being a 'model immigrant / minority', and adds to a dynamic conversation on immigration and diversity in the arts. I co-directed this piece with Michael Garrett and Cathy Waller.

ba(ME) premiered at The Place’s online summer season in 2022, and has since been screened at various film festivals in England, Scotland, Japan, The USA, Portugal, and Bulgaria. Latest screening info is available at this link here.
