For my project, I wanted to create a dance performance that articulates the effects of social media on
mental health and people’s self-worth. Social media can feel like all eyes are on you and make someone feel like they need to put their best self out there. This constant pressure to be perfect can be overwhelming and cause someone to feel like they’ll never be good enough for others. I also think that since people put so much of themselves online it causes others to think they have a right to comment on how that person looks and acts. It feels as if we are there to perform for others’ pleasure.

I couldn’t post the full performance since it was too large of a file so here is a small snippet.
