In this episode, NCCAkron's Executive/Artistic Director, Christy Bolingbroke, enters the 'studio' with Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Leila and Noelle Awadallah of Body Watani. As daughters of Palestinian refugee lineage, Body Watani investigates dance rooted in Arab and SWANA movement languages. Their first evening-length work, TERRANEA, was performed at the Arab American National Museum, Hammana Artist House, Red Eye Theater, Links Halls, and Al Madina Theater.
