Women

WOMEN, choreographed by Nicole Bindler in collaboration with three dancers from the Bethlehem, Palestine-based Diyar Dance Theater, is a hybrid dabke/contemporary dance that explores the parallels between the conquest of Palestinian land and Palestinian women's bodies. The dancers create a map of Palestine with stones on the stage and on the geography of their bodies. They perform quotidian tasks, such as braiding hair to the sounds of war outside their window. They dance to the music and the sounds of the streets in their hometown, Bethlehem. This piece is an ode to the women of Palestine told by three women who grieve the loss of their land and the sea they cannot visit. This piece is also a celebration of their vitality, resiliency and intelligence that resides not just in their minds, but in their skin, muscles and bones.

Last year, Baltimore Palestine Solidarity received a $2,500 grant from the Research Associates Foundation to bring the dance performance "WOMEN" to Baltimore. While the grant covers the expenses of putting on the performance, we would like to raise an additional 1000 for the 5-person team of dancers, choreographer and director: https://www.gofundme.com/WOMENtoBmore
