STORYTELLERS

Meraki Dance Company invites you to be a Storyteller. Telling stories shapes communities of liked minded hearts. Meraki “Storytellers” is a movement project sharing moments of the heart and soul of true human experiences through stories. We are calling out survivors, feelers, doers and believers. Write your story, share your story, and we will move your story. With every movement and feeling, our bodies will bring beauty, honesty, bravery and life to the soles you’re walking in.

Directors Note

I love the language created through movement, and loving people opens this door. Movement draws me into the story of their lives. I love to know them, hear them, and find out what makes them beautifully and wonderfully created.
As a child I was quiet, keeping thoughts, feelings, experiences, inward and hidden. Movement was my safe place. It’s where I felt alive, and it truly was my saving grace. Over the years I found great healing and a voice in sharing my stories through dance. It has healed so many places in my heart and brought beauty from ashes. Creating “Storytellers” has been laid on my heart in the hopes to bring beauty and life to the stories of others. Join me on a journey of "being human to the fullest"! With Love- Hilary McAlister
