Coinciding with Trans Awareness Week, Ballet Queer premiere short dance film This is How I Move: Naia – directed by Jonathan Watkins and featuring dancer Naia Bautista.

Exploring Naia Bautista’s experience as a trans woman and dancer, This is How I Move retraces her journey through movement, from a point where dance exists in her body but not in her authentic self. Navigating moments of contemplation, Naia expands her world through transitioning and her relationship to movement, as she challenges and rewrites her lived experience to discover a new world through dance.
