MAPLE STREET DANCE SPACE and FARAWAY IS CLOSE

present

A SPECIAL WORK-IN-PROGRESS PREVIEW OF

THE GOOD MANNERS OF COLONIZED SUBJECTS

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 Indian classical theater and dance.


At a time when the lingering effects of colonization are manifesting in fraught conversations about borders and fear of the other, this fierce and cathartic 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.

SUN, NOVEMBER 24 at 1PM
MAPLE STREET DANCE SPACE - back studio
3215 Central Ave NE, Albuquerque

Duration: approx 75 minutes.
There will be a brief interactive session with the artist after the performance.


Tickets $12 ONLINE via Brown Paper tickets (link above)

$15 CASH AT DOOR AS AVAILABLE
**LIMITED SEATING**

The umbrella organization for the play is Faraway is Close, a new cross cultural experiential project founded by Shebana Coelho, that offers creativity and writing adventures to nurture "the stories under the skin, indigenous to your nature, the stories only you can tell."

The play has been workshopped in Santa Fe, Honolulu, Hawaii, American Samoa, Gravity Hill Farm, NJ. Most recently, excerpts were presented at the Pan Asian Repertory Theater's Nuworks festival in New York City.

"This incarnation of the play was developed in collaboration with former Maple Street Instructors Alice Blumenfeld and Aparna Sindhoor - many of the first gestures of choreography found shape in the front studio!   I'm grateful for the beauty and inspiration of the space, for Romy for holding and creating and sustaining that space and the wisdom and insights and talents of Alice and Aparna in helping me manifest this play which continues to deepen my journey..."
-Shebana Coelho
