KIN
Is blood thicker than envy?
Three siblings engage in the metaphysical arts on behalf of their tribe, but opening doors to the spiritual realm can have unexpected results, especially when the human conduit is harboring dark feelings.
For the KIN project, Baltimore based dance company Barakaat developed a vision of using the incredibly rich movement vocabulary of belly dance to tell an original story of human emotion, family love, loss, betrayal and renewal. Barakaat then reached out to some of the best local and regional belly dance performers to help bring this story to life. To date, over 40 dancers - professionals, semi-professionals and talented amateurs - are contributing their creative efforts to this show.
Barakaat Middle Eastern Dance Company is a professional dance company based in Baltimore, Maryland specializing in Raqs Sharqi (belly dance) and other Middle Eastern folkloric and ethnic dances. Founded in 2010 under the artistic direction of Shems, Barakaat is pushing the boundaries of Middle Eastern-born arts in the context of modern America, while honoring the roots and traditions of these beautiful cultural dances. Barakaat has built a reputation for excellence in the local dance community and has worked with distinguished institutions such as the Smithsonian, the National Aquarium, Artscape and Dance Baltimore.
Guest dancers and choreographers for KIN include Saffron's Elena Faye, Latifa and the Banat al-Beled Dancers, Naimah and the Amandari Dance Company, Mariza and the Lazuli Belly Dance Ensemble and Baba Ghanoush Belly Dance with the Support of Nina Amaya, and the Aubergine Dancers.
