Blending Bouffon-inspired improvisation, dance, text, and live performance, they craft works that explore the complications of identity, context, and the passage of time. Drawing from their own personal intercultural syncretic queer identities (Tia is Chinese-Ukrainian; Philip is Ashkenazi Jewish and Red River Michif), Real Sweat creates performances that unground the spectator through mimicry, reinterpretation, and miscommunication of the everyday, inviting them to reflect on the fleetine nature of the present.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kp0wka-196bba6d56dbf5f0580ba0eefa41be15 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock ls-artiste-liens'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><a class=\"ls-artiste-lien ls-artiste-instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rush_test4ech0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram Tia <\/a><a class=\"ls-artiste-lien ls-artiste-instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/philipjgeller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram Philip<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/main><!-- close content main element --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_2'  class='avia-section av-j2wzx6-7c02f72db7bf5fe71273c22f86d1f46a main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6122'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-h1dqzu-b2add19eddddbe19f4cc43087c796dfd '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock ls-font-100'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 class=\"center\">A PRACTISE: MISINTERPRETATION (A PERFORMANCE) XXL<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-1m0e6y-37535498f9f7d3bf9f14ce59692b1880 sc-av_one_full av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1m0e6y-37535498f9f7d3bf9f14ce59692b1880\">\n.flex_column.av-1m0e6y-37535498f9f7d3bf9f14ce59692b1880{\nwidth:100%;\nmargin-left:0;\n}\n#top .flex_column_table.av-equal-height-column-flextable.av-1m0e6y-37535498f9f7d3bf9f14ce59692b1880 .av-flex-placeholder{\nwidth:0%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1m0e6y-37535498f9f7d3bf9f14ce59692b1880 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_full  ls-font-28 first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-ep5cbu-2c470f8637644c78b0207cd9784f8735 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock ls-deux-colonnes-suivi'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a practise: Misinterpretation (a performance) XXL is an absurdist duet in which two mixed-race, androgynous, and WILDLY SEXY artists practice and experiment with modes of contemporary Whiteness.
