Description SUNOH! Tell Me, Sister brings to life women's stories of being silenced, finding voice and sisterly community. Blending multimedia storytelling and contemporary Indian dance theater, SUNOH! Tell Me, Sister draws on the histories of the dancer-courtesan of the Indian subcontinent, stories of contemporary South Asian domestic violence survivors, and the performers' personal struggles with tradition. This multidisciplinary work emerged from the Post Natyam Collective's long-distance creative process, which uses internet technologies to enable transnational choreographic collaboration. The piece also reflects Post Natyam's long-term community work with AWAZ, the South Asian Network's support group for survivors of sexual and domestic violence. choreography and performance: Cynthia Ling Lee and Shyamala Moorty with long-distance contributions from Anjali Tata and Sandra Chatterjee multimedia design: Carole Kim original music: Loren Nerell and Ravindra Deo dramaturgy: Mona Heinze dance-media collaborator: Sangita Shresthova technical direction and lighting design: Kedar Lawrence community partner: South Asian Network's AWAZ cynthialinglee.com www.postnatyam.net, www.postnatyam.blogspot.com
