Reasons for Moving is an interdisciplinary and multicultural dance-theater project about the experiences of first, second, and third generation immigrants. Performers are: Kalala Kiwanuka-Woernle, whose mother left Uganda for the UK 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. Their family biographies anchor an exploration of intergenerational and social negotiations of culture. Reasons for Moving frames performance as a site to engage community conversation about how cultures of origin inform our identities outside of their homelands.
