SUMMARY:Terranea: Hakawatia of the Sea
DESCRIPTION:8 p.m. ET Friday\, April 28\, 2023\nTERRANEA: hakawatia of the sea\nIn-person at AANM or via Livestream \nPurchase Tickets | Purchase Tickets for livestream\n$10 Students/Seniors\n$12 Museum Members\n$15 General Public\n$5 Livestream \nTERRANEA: hakawatia of the sea is a performance that weaves a contemporary mythology about Terranea\, a sea spirit who gathers those that have lost their lives in the Mediterranean Sea. Developed collaboratively along the Lebanese and Sicilian coasts\, in the lakes of Mni Sota Makoce (Minnesota\, U.S.)\, and with Palestinian water wells and streams in mind\, this dance performance integrates oral histories around bodies of water while delving into the memories water itself can hold. Dancers\, musicians and writers come together to imagine how to embody the lessons of this essential element. At the same time\, we contemplate how our bodies are affected by absurd and deadly blockages\, on land and in water\, that impede free-flowing movement. Looking particularly into the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and water\, where Palestinian bodies\, homes\, olive trees and rights are under attack; where indigenous resistance roots are deep and ignited. As well as the broader crisis of the sea; whereas in its past\, the Mediterranean was a space of free and fluid migration\, the sea is now marked with invisible borders and demarcations of power\, with detrimental effects. \nThrough choreographies\, this piece asks our bodies: How do we unravel the ‘stuckedness’ that builds up and sinks deep under our skin? What grief exists at the moment of departure and which bone does it shake? Where are the songs of our ancestors stored\, and how might we listen to their rhythm? What life-giving connections can we find\, of this earth and of the mythical realm? What is the memory of the sea? \nThis work began in a solo residency at the Arab American National Museum in September of 2020. After 2.5 years of process and collaborations that took place on Turtle Island\, Lebanon and Sicily\, with artists across disciplines and places\, we will return for a residency that will culminate in sharing the performance TERRANEA: hakawatia of the sea. \nPerformance by Body Watani Dance Project; choreographed by Leila and Noelle Awadallah in collaboration with the dancers / performers Nakita Kirchner\, Sharitah Nalule\, Erica Jo Vibar Sherwood\, and Emma Marlar. Thanks to our guest performers who joined us for this tour: \nCollaborators: Original music by Renee Copeland and collaborator Peter James Roduta featuring vocalist Amal Kaawash and Clarissa Bitar. Mythology of Terranea written by Romy Lynn Attieh\, translated by Rana Issa\, and read by Wafika Loubani. Farrah Basyouni\, and Leila Awadallah. Film by Leila Awadallah with assistance from Xiaolu Wang. Images by Zaynab Mourad.

SUMMARY:Algerian Rai dance workshop with Esraa Warda
DESCRIPTION:8 hours of instruction with Esraa Warda\, right here in Seattle! \nEsraa Warda is a prominent Algerian-American dance performer and educator based in New York\, specializing in traditional and popular Algerian dance forms like Raï\, Chaoui\, and Assimi. Her work operates from a decolonial indigenous body knowledge\, sexuality\, and North African feminism(s) framework. Warda’s teaching pedagogy blends traditional embodied formats and community-based learning with a systematic approach to Algerian dance vocabulary.

It often explores themes of subversion\, exile\, love\, and loss\, reflecting the region’s social struggles. We will delve into body-rhythm connection to embody Algeriann Raï’s signature cathartic “groove”. \nSaturday\, February 15 from 4:30-6:30 pm: Algerian Chaoui Dance\nThis workshop will explore a traditional dance from one sub-group of the indigenous people (Amazigh) of North Africa\, known as the Chaouiya. This group is home to the region of the Aures mountains in East Algeria. Chaoui dance is maternal and grounded\, truly symbolic of this tribe’s respect for the divine energy of nature and agriculture. Famously known for the “bounce” of the belly\, this style is danced with strong isolations in the pelvis area. \nSunday\, February 16 from 2-4 pm: Algerian Assimi (Algeroise) Dance\nAssimi\, or “danse Algéroise\,” is an Andalusian-influenced classical dance from Algiers\, danced at the opening of wedding processions by family matriarchs to usher in the evening. This graceful dance embodies the dignity\, virtue\, and femininity of Algerian women. Students will learn to dance with intention\, charm\, and meditative coordination of “les mouchoirs” (handkerchiefs) in hand. \nSunday: February 16 from 4:30-6:30 pm: Lecture: Key Concepts of Algerian Dance\nEnhance your dance experience with an engaging lecture and conversation that explores the social\, historical\, and aesthetic aspects of the Algerian dances we have practiced over the weekend. This session provides students with an authentic\, critical introduction to key concepts essential for understanding and participating in Algerian dance culture(s) \n  \nStefanie Fatooh\, qabilaseattle@gmail.com \n
