About this Event
Oceans Between Our Names (Duet Version) explores migration, diasporic memory, and the ways displacement lives within the body. Through intimate movement, live sound, and paper boats, one dancer and one musician create a landscape of longing, passage, and connection. Inspired by dreams and memories of home, the work reflects on what we carry, lose, and inherit across generations.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
A name discovered in a dream, carried gently by the wind between worlds. Born as Ching-I Chang, a name lovingly gifted by a beloved grandfather, Anichi walks through life with wonder in heart and songs in soul. Anichi dreams of a world where humans and nature remember they are one; where creation flows freely without borders, separation, or fear. Anichi speaks with trees and listens closely to the wisdom hidden in their dances beneath the sky.
When time softens, you can find Anichi singing to the moon, dancing barefoot through ordinary moments, and turning everyday life into a small celebration of being alive.
Anichi loves bananas.
Presented as part of SMUSH Gallery’s 2026 Dance Fellowship
