Are you creating new work inspired by mythology? Or current events? Contemporary history? In this discussion and workshop, Mimi Mondal, Hugo and Nebula award nominated short story writer, will describe how she uses imagination and fiction to show her point of view in story telling. She will discuss with Unrehearsed resident Asha Rowland and share reflections on various projects from her experience writing fictional short stories, exploring authors who have inspired her, and working with dance. Join us as we discover the many paths toward imagining and reimagining stories, through conversation and even trying ourselves.

World Arts West is partnering with Nava Dance Theatre to present Migrations, which explores the origins of the labor of immigrant artists. In a virtual story circle, Naomi Diouf (Diamano Coura West African Dance Company) and Carlos Moreno (Ballet Folklorico Mexicano de Carlos Moreno) share their lived experiences as artists, community leaders and cultural elders. They reflect on what motivated them to dance when they first arrived, and they discuss how their artistic practice and dance communities have changed over the years. This sharing features a first-look premiere of Nava Dance Theatre’s Migrations, inspired by community interviews with South Asian immigrant women who arrived after the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act and commissioned by World Arts West.
