LeilAwa [Leila Awadallah] (she/her) is a Palestinian American
dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker based between Minneapolis
and Beirut. She is the founder of Body Watani dance project and
practice. Her works emerge from physicalized reflections and
questions around the notion of body-as-homeland by integrating
lands, ancestors, and embodied memories' with traditional Arabic
dance forms and historical / present day engagement with both
political and settler colonial impacts on bodies / movement /
spaces / places. Her research, artistry and activism locates in
the context of indigenous Palestine as well as more broadly in
Mediterranean and SWANA regions.
