As a predominantly trans and nonbinary group, Mujō Dream Flight (MDF) defies common gender scripts in ways that are expressive of their identities and values, telling personal stories of transness, immigration, and resilience under white supremacist patriarchy. They leverage dance, shinobue, taiko, and song to weave these stories with their multidisciplinary skills and the richness of their heritage and experiences. MDF is the artistic vehicle of founding taiko artists Sasen Cain and Maxyn Rose Leitner. Together, and in collaboration with other predominantly trans and nonbinary taiko artists, they create both original works and traditional adaptations. MDF’s art centers dance and personal storytelling informed by the specific cultural backgrounds of its members.
