Our Place in this House navigates the relationship between an Asian American mother and son through a series of episodic moments shaped into one cohesive narrative. Our Place in this House is a telescopic examination sourced from one of Rian’s previous choreographic works: Behind Closed Doors. The piece analyzes the intricacies and nuances of familial expectations and sociocultural values within the AAPI experience. Rooted in personal history, the work examines the dynamics of intergenerational values within one singular household. Through movement and storytelling, the piece brings attention to internalized experiences that are not often verbalized.
