The Paula Lerner Visiting Artist Program at Beth El Temple Center presents “An Exploration of Belonging and Othering: A Dance & Multimedia Performance by Beheard.world.”
A powerful collaboration by eight dancers/choreographers, three poets and a filmmaker that explores the intersection of the concepts of belonging and othering, the performance opens a window into underlying parts of tribalism and bias that keep us divided. This multimedia performance piece screens six local storytellers who share first-hand experiences of exclusion based on racism, religion, gender bias, immigration prejudice or LGBTQ issues, while dancers perform solos to their narratives. Choreographer Anna Myer melds the movements and phrases from the solo dancers, transforming being othered into what it looks and feels like to belong.
Beheard.world is a racially diverse collective of performing artists, filmmakers and educators in Boston committed to utilizing the arts to make positive change. They create live performances, documentary films, and workshops in response to community needs that advance social justice.
