The video features six vignettes in which solo dancers move through urban and natural environments in New York City and Upstate New York. The performers employ a range of movement vocabularies. Some gestures respond to the surrounding landscape while others stem from voguing, a style of dance that evolved from the Ballroom scene, an underground subculture created by members of the Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ community in New York, which came to prominence in the 1980s.
