We're a bunch of media students at Sophia Polytech College pursuing a 1-year post graduate diploma course entitled 'Social Communications Media.' This is an integrated media course with a social conscious. It incorporates several group projects and practical work.
Currently, we are working hard on our student documentary. 9 of us came together to begin this project. As a group we are all quite passionate about dance, especially about the fascinating folk art form of Laavni. Our adventurous journey began when one of our group members discovered an all male Laavni group, called Bin Baykancha Tamasha. We then met a few fascinating members of this group, and immediately got hooked.
Through our journey, we were able to discover the blurring lines of gender through the art form of Lavani. We want to make this documentary to convey across a unique message we have discovered from our protagonist, which is to accept the blurs and uncertainties of gender. The inspiring story of our protagonist make us all realize that identities do not have to be bounded by gender when a person has so much to offer.
It is okay to be different. It is up to us how we broaden our mindsets and gain respect for an individual who is identified by his talent and passion, not by his or her gender.
