SUPPORT THE MAKING OF HISTORY!
A History of the Body is a multidisciplinary piece about colonization and the body, fusing dance, theater, poetry and visual art. The work examines the powerful effects of culture, history and media on our attitudes towards skin color, facial features and female beauty. A group I created, the Pagbabalik (Return) Project, recently developed this new piece for a work-in-progress in November and we’ll continue over the next year. We’ve engaged in research about Filipino history and interviews with women about body image; we just completed two successful workshops with women about skin and beauty. It’s been an exciting process, and we are looking forward to sharing our vision with you.
Your donation would help pay for research, oral history equipment, space rental, costumes, set design, promotional flyers, documentation, costumes and artist fees as we prepare to stage the work and develop it throughout the next year into a full-length production. You’d also be supporting our workshops with women about beauty and body image.
This work is made possible in part by the Zellerbach Family Foundation with contribution from the William and Flora Hewitt Foundation. We are fiscally sponsored by CounterPULSE.
