About this Event

Monday, April 20th | 5:30PM
NYU Abu Dhabi
19 Washington Square North
New York, NY 10011
Can we “write” history through movement rather than words? What histories and knowledge do our bodies archive and express? In this event, choreographer Meredith Dincolo and historian Tara Zahra explore the artistic process and methodological challenges of researching and creating personal histories through movement.
Please stay for a reception after the event.
