Dancing My Mother's Body™ is a rigorous exploration of identity, the body and the complex relationship of mother and daughter, through the lens, vocabulary and metaphors provided by Raks Baladi. Through the use of dramaturgy and personal narrative, in addition to examining philosophies of identity construction, healing and activism, Hanan brings participants into a deeply personal conversation with their own bodies as dancers, women and daughters.

“A dancer that comes from where one can touch the rooftop of the world.”
