The Colonial Table

The Colonial Table, a dance for the camera piece. 

How do we embody the colonizer's culture? How do we honor our culture of origin? In this piece, three performers engage with these questions. The performers are: Kalala Kiwanuka-Woernle, whose mother left Uganda for the UK for political reasons and later came to the US on a student visa; Mai Moua Thao, born in a refugee camp in Thailand; and Skye Reddy, whose family lost their ancestral homelands in the colonial Partition of South Asia.
