This project sparks from the desire to investigate the shared connection between trans and migrant experiences as examples of bodies that inhabit the ‘in-between’. Trans people are aware, through their lived experience at the edges of society, of the embodiment of the space in-between normative understanding of gender identity. Migrants, as a community, share the same experience of in-betweenness as there is a constant meditation of identity (personal, national and in the intricate ways of how both inform each other) for displaced bodies.

Through the in-depth exploration of flamenco as an integral part of my experience as a trans Spanish migrant, and verbatim as a way of exploring the power of intimacy in queer spaces, I aim to create a piece that will become a safe space for those who have longing to see themselves centre stage.
