Identity

This past May, ENMU’s Department of Theatre and Digital Filmmaking opened an original creative work by Bryan Hahn (MA 12, BFA 04) (choreographer) and Shelly Short (filmmaker) entitled Identity, A Dance and Experimental Film Concert.

A thoughtful, beautiful and personal show, Identity is an artistic portrayal of Hahn and Short’s own journeys, as well as those from their dancers and filmmakers.

“The moment that Shelly and I began working we knew this project was no longer just about us,” Hahn revealed. “The team began sharing their own personal stories about their struggles and successes realizing their own identity.”

“The exploration of this concept with Bryan, the performers and the crew has been amazing, and the work that has gone into this production is truly genuine,” said Short.
