Chohi’s Unstuckness Practice is a music film that reflects on her journey to reconnect with her body and voice after feeling feeling physically numb from sexual trauma and vocally stuck from years of trying to act and sound white while performing in a Eurocentric, predominantly white opera world. In her film, she takes the physical gestures she developed in her unstuckness practice — trembling and shaking to “unstick” her voice and body — and weaves them into a film piece that creates space for communal healing.
