Bold Black Ballerina - An Artist’s Profile

Writer/ Director

Writer/Director/Producer/Editor

This short artist profile follows Bbb, a performer exploring gender expression, movement, and identity across three environments: her bedroom, public transit, and studio space. I was interested less in explanation and more in presence - how someone occupies space, how confidence appears in small gestures and how decisions are driven by a strong will.
