Charlie Prince and Erin Hill ( Lebanon/ Canada)
Nipple of the Sky ( Residency/ Open Presentation)
Charlie Prince and Erin Hill were offered to do a residency at Maqamat Bet El Raqs followed by a public presentation
"Having grown up in Lebanon, the idea of returning home to share my body's journey came as a dream. The very act of dancing in Lebanon, even more, the Chouf which is where I grew up, is a significant and potent one for me. During this residency, with the help of my partner and collaborator, I wish to explore the theme of identity as a diasporic Lebanese person living abroad. This will most probably come under the form of a solo, but I wish to have a dialogue with other artists in Lebanon in hopes of gathering material and creating multidisciplinary connections through the process. I also take this event as an opportunity to work with and meet new artists living in Lebanon, as part of my desire to make work in and reconnect to my native land."
