Abstract

In this video interview, composer/performer Mirza Shams (stage name, NAXÖ) and dancer Radia Ali (Noori) describe the ways in which they use music to create and explore psychological narratives and consciousnesses of personal transformation and resistance. They follow their own paths through understanding their own identities while demonstrating the performance practices that they have developed in collaboration with each other.
