Same As Sister (S.A.S.) was visited by CBC Arts’ journalist Genelle Levy during their Dancemakers-supported residency at Dance Arts Institute to discuss their history as a performance collective and current project in development, Upstairs, In Our Bedroom.

Revealing the powerful and painful intersections between twinship, blackness, madness, and art-making, Upstairs, In Our Bedroom is a multimedia dance performance that radically reimagines Same As Sister’s dual autobiography next to the true story of the Caribbean-British outsider artists, June and Jennifer Gibbons (a.k.a. ‘The Silent Twins’).
