Falling, a dance visual by Mers Tran, is a movement visual that captures the intoxicating blend of uncertainty, vertigo, and the thrill of new love. Through Old Way Vogue-inspired movements set against rolling foothill landscapes and towering ancient trees, the film explores the disorienting emotions of falling into a connection that feels both exhilarating and precarious.

-----

Mers Tran (they/them) is a queer and gender non-binary 2nd-generation Vietnamese-American creative, community organizer, and science educator. Their 15 years of dance experience originated from choreographed homecoming rallies popularized in California high schools. Since 2018, they have dedicated their craft to Old Way Vogue, and have contributed to the queer ballroom scene where they now reside in Oakland, California.
