My guest today is Seji Gaerlan. Seji is a founding member of the Syde Project dance crew and the Producer of the Orange County based Bridge The Gap jams. I’ve photographed two of these events and was impressed by the spirit and quality of the jams. I invited him in to ask about his personal story and the motivation behind Bridge The Gap. He’s a really thoughtful observer of the Southern California dance community and of life in general, and we get pretty deep into discussion about both the dance world and his experience as a kid moving here from the Philippines. Seji is both humble and audacious and I think you’ll enjoy our conversation. So let’s get into The Real Future with Seji Gaerlan.
