But Then Again documents the journey of a dance project and its struggle for survival during a historical, trying time. Through constant cancellations and a transition from live performance to film, But Then Again explores transformation through artists’ work, and adapting to ongoing change. Featured is an intergenerational cast of dancers: Ryan Lee, Bonnie Kim, Darryl C. Tracy, Susie Burpee, Pulga Muchochoma, Oriah Wiersma, Kelly Shaw, Kendra Epik, and 11-year-old dancer Eva Teece-Soter.
