Laura Bao- Tran Huynh
Performer, Dancer, Artist
Laura is a performer from Sydney, Australia. Initially starting her journey in dance through the Sydney street dance scene, she has become acquainted with freestyle and battling- growing a sense of love for dance and the ways it is able to help express herself.
She has gained opportunities to work with non-profit NGO, DSDA Inc., providing media and marketing services to promote street dance within Sydney. This year she has decided to extend her knowledge of dance by partaking in Village Nation's Full Time training course, on her way to completing her Certificate IV in Dance. Throughout the current year, she has worked and studied through industry opportunities and artistic opportunities, such as the D.A.P, HUMXN, and OneDanceCollective's Artist Circle programs in order to continually uplift her creative skills. She is hoping to continually integrate parts of her personal, and sometimes vulnerable, identity and new findings in life, into her works.
My Eyes Seen through Yours
Something we fear the most in society is judgement- how we all can often be perceived (and perceive) a very two dimensional view of one another. Breaking away from the idea that people have created of you can be tough, especially as humans we are constantly changing.
We fear and we judge others so much to the point where we fear ourselves. We fear the person who we really are and we try to run away from it. We run away from the person inside of us who just wants to be recognised.
How is this such a humane issue, yet we don’t treat ourselves like we are humane ourselves? Accept the fears that come with judgement, accept the anxieties of the eyes, and celebrate the human condition. You are always seen and heard. As humxns we are powerful, versatile and complex.
