MOVING STORIES: Lives Transformed by Dance
MOVING STORIES | Six dancers. Four countries. One week to change lives.
MOVING STORIES | For anyone who’s ever been a teacher. Or had one.
An acclaimed New York dance company travels the world, working with at-risk youth, teaching them the tools of choreography so they can tell their stories through dance.
SUMMARY
Six diverse dancers from an acclaimed American company travel the world, teaching the tools of choreography to young people who’ve experienced war, poverty, prejudice, sexual exploitation, and severe trauma as refugees, so that they can tell their stories through dance. In India they work with girls rescued from sex trafficking and gender violence; in Romania, with Roma kids from one of Europe’s worst slums; in South Korea, with North Koreans who risked their lives to escape; and in Iraq, with a gifted young Muslim dancer, fighting to survive. Incredibly, they have just one week to teach kids who may be enemies, who may have been abused, who may be suspicious and fearful, to create dances to perform for their communities. Yet as they prepare to perform in public in what seems an impossibly short time, both students and teachers experience surprising transformations, unlocking feelings and stories in wellsprings of creativity.
