THE PLAY
The Good Manners of Colonized Subjects is a
solo play about a human animal, fragmented by colonization, who journeys through memoir and myth to confront fear and reclaim lost poetry and dance, indigenous to her spirit, collective to the species.
Written and performed by India-born, New Mexico-based artist
Shebana Coelho, it interweaves poetry, monologues, improvisation and choreography drawn from flamenco and Sanskrit classical theater.
At a time when the lingering effects of colonization are manifesting in fraught conversations about borders and fear of the other, the narrative unravels the insidious ways colonization works inside and outside the skin, through culture, history, emotion and offers a healing alchemy of metaphor and movement.
The text is in English...with threads of Urdu, Portuguese,
Spanish, Caló, Konkani, Mongolian.
The project is currently being workshopped through a grassroots tour to preview the play, build audiences and fundraise for the final production.
As part of a new cross-cultural initiative, Faraway is Close, it will be presented
with creativity workshops that nurture participants
to stand up in their own story.
The Barn at Gravity Hill hosts education and community-based organizations, as well as celebrations and corporate events.Gravity Hill Farm was founded in 2005 as a small family farm, dedicated to teaching about nature—and nurturing—through organic farming and raising animals. Co-owners David Earling and Maria Nicolo wanted to create a farm rooted in their community, and of service to that community. Their non-profit mission is to offer a space and programming for issues connecting food, nature, sustainability and community. www.thebarnatgravityhill.com
