Embody Palestine workshop June 2 from 3—5pm
Center for Performing Arts, Studio 105w (3754 Pleasant Ave., Minneapolis)
Co-facilitated by 2024 McKnight International Choreographer Meryl Zaytoun Murman and Leila Awadallah (Body Watani Dance), this workshop will guide participants through embodied explorations on the range of emotions stirred by the genocide in Gaza. Facilitators will offer movement and vocal explorations, use gesture, mimicry and embodiment as a practice of awareness and communication based on a desire to process the human suffering we are witnessing with physical understanding. Practicing contemporary investigations of Arabic folk dance, and through Dabke steps in particular, participants embody rhythmic footwork to deepen solidarities in both near and distant proximity.
This workshop is held for participants who consider themself an ally to the Palestinian cause. Dance experience is not necessary, but it will be a primarily non-verbal movement space for participants to engage at their own range of intensity.
With a recommended donation of $5-15 on site (cash or check only), interested participants should register in advance.
