Description

What stories do our bodies tell? How can music and dance forms help people communicate with their inner selves and each other? How our body language may be signaling our oppression or liberation of mental, cultural or social conditionings?
Why is Belly Dancing seen as a popular and powerful dance style? How its evolution throughout time showcased the intersection between West and East gazes? In which ways mindful art performances educate audiences or societies to rethink prejudices and stereotypes on women's and people's bodies?
An interview with Alexandra Molina and Valerick Molinary, founders of the multimedia production and theater company Belly Dance Stories.
