Introduction and what will we actually do?
The story, pain, and trauma we contain in our body are not just our own: it is heavily influenced by social and political issues in the world, by our family history, and by our roots.
We will embody and improvise on social and political issues we care about through tools I used in my dance creation process in the last years that helped me create my dance creations - specifically tools from my solo "اثنين שתיים" and duet “Divide and Conquer”.
Example exercise - each participant will take a personal story that touches them deeply and is connected to their community or society. Then you will embody the collective of your group, and then you will embody the "enemy", and then we will play with embodying both at the same time (for your issues we might use different words - "enemy" might not work for you).
For example Saed (A Palestinian living in technically what you call Israel) - I will embody the Palestinian collective, then I will embody the Israeli Soldier, then I will live both in my body at the same time. The result is unexplainable until you live it.

How do I choose a story/issue/conflict to work with?
You can choose a collective issue that is of personal connection to you: from your roots, ethnicity, race, or country. You can also choose a collective issue from another collective with a lot of sensitivity of how that other collective will feel towards you doing that. For example: a white person doing an act about Afrodescendant heritage needs to come with a great deal of awareness. In this space, we don’t want to over-provoke other people’s deep wounds - even though we believe in the act of provocation through art but in this particular space, we do want to be very sensitive towards the group that will work.
