JacksonMale20-29 y.o.Asian

LEAD. A young man who finds strength, joy, and identity through heel dancing. He has kept this part of himself hidden from his conservative parents. Strong movement/dance background required (especially heel dance, jazz funk, or similar styles). This is a raw, grounded emotional performance. Must be comfortable in heels. Dance Reel or Footage Required.

MotherFemale40-59 y.o.Asian

SUPPORTING. Reserved, observant, and shaped by cultural decorum. Her transformation in the story is subtle yet powerful-growing from hesitation to quiet support.

FatherMale40-59 y.o.Asian

SUPPORTING. A traditionally minded patriarch with deeply held views on masculinity. His emotional arc is restrained, but layered. In the climactic moment, he offers a small but meaningful gesture of acknowledgment toward his son.
