About Belonging and Othering:
Belonging and Othering opens a window into the underlying parts of tribalism and bias that keep us divided. The multi-media performance piece features eight local storytellers who have experienced being “othered". In response to their stories each company member creates a solo. Choreographer Anna Myer then builds on the solos and with interlacing and partnering the whole troupe, iconizing the beauty of belonging. Set to an original score by composer, Nate Tucker.
This performance is part of the BLOOM residency program. Major support for BLOOM is provided by Movement Arts Creation Studio (MACS).
About beheard.world
beheard.world is a Boston-based non-profit that uses the performing arts and documentary filmmaking to foster civil dialogue and invite trust in the midst of differences. Beyond touring and filmmaking throughout New England, in 2017 the company received a National Endowment grant to tour their critically acclaimed piece, "Invisible: Imprints of Racism," from NYC to Baltimore, followed by a five-city tour up the Great Black Migration Trail from Jackson, Mississippi to Chicago. The company’s award- winning documentary about the tour won Best Feature at the LA Sun Film Festival and can now be streamed on Amazon Prime. The 15 beheard.world performers and filmmakers regularly give workshops and educational classes to inner-city youth and perform in theaters and public venues (inner city parks and basketball courts in housing developments converted to theaters) to bring new understanding to audiences that cross cultural and economic lines.
