MUHAMMAD AMMAR NASRULHAQ
Visual Artist | Dancer | Choreographer |Creative Director | Filmmaker in progress
A visual creator both on the dance floor and through the lens, I spend most of my time creating magic. Driven by adrenaline, I love pushing and transcending boundaries and believe in experiences more than certificates. I was born hearing and hit by a high fever when I was an infant, resulting in my loss of hearing, no sorry. Growing up in both Deaf and Hearing worlds, I witness and identify many differences and similarities in both worlds. Despite my deafness, I had a passion for dance since young. Part of the Redeafination dance crew since 2011 and it has taken my passion to greater height. My focus goal is to integrate the relationship between deaf and hearing to spread a message that both world can work together, taking two hands to clap. Currently a resident choreographer and instructor in the crew and spreading my passion to more deaf youths.
