Apparently, I am a Website Updating Machine. (Well, my husband, aka My Own Personal Web Designer and Tech Support Guy, has something to do with that – he very cleverly made it so I can update my galleries without depending on him for anything.) I just posted my new, still ongoing, series “Not like the others,” formerly known as my belly dance project.
My statement:
Belly dance is thought to have originated as a way to prepare for and articulate the experience of womanhood. This series places belly dancers in urban and suburban settings to foreground the sterility of modern North American culture and highlight the absences that may draw women to this ancient dance form. If the dancers are not on stage, then what are they performing?
