INTERDISCIPLINARY

Same As Sister (S.A.S.) is in the early developmental stages for "Upstairs, In Our Bedroom", an interdisciplinary performance that places our own experiences as female identical twins of color next to the real-life story of outsider authors June & Jennifer Gibbons (a.k.a. The Silent Twins). The piece calls upon a phantasmagoric mix of archival and pop-cultural content to dispel misconceptions on the nature of both twinship and blackness as fetishized through a white lens.

Through collaboration and experimentation across disciplines, S.A.S. creates movement-based narratives that are an intersection of real and imagined characters/archetypes, their behaviors as seen through gesture, and the visual environments that we have them traverse.
