Dancer and Performing Artist, Johnny Huy Nguyen brought us an intense and moving performance for our We Got Us year-end event on 12/10/20. We loved it so much we just had to share it with all of you!

Johnny Huy Nguyen is a multidisciplinary artist based in unceded Ramaytush - Ohlone territory aka San Francisco and is a second generation Vietnamese American. His practice is centered on the body, recognizing its power as a place of knowing, site of resistance, gateway to healing, and crucible of imagination. Drawing from a fluency in multiple movement modalities including myriad street dance styles, contemporary, modern, he weaves together dance, text, ritual, performance art, and other mediums to navigate the intersections between the personal, the political, and the universal. In doing so, his aim is to cultivate spaces from which we may gain greater understanding of our world, expand as conduits for radical empathy, and collectively imagine futures yet to be realized.
