MAKOR is a cross-cultural exploration of the way in which we return to stories, specifically oral folklore and spirituality during times of upheaval, struggle and isolation. Inspired by the tales in Women Who Run with the Wolves by author, poet and Jungian analyst Clarissa Pinkola Estés, this three part performance reimagines stories that feature female characters who embody resilience and tenacity in the face of erasure.  

Featuring stories from Jewish, Chinese minority, and Afro-Cuban folklore and mythology, each piece draws from the choreographer's familial, intellectual, and creative roots through years of ethnographic research and artistic practice, that reflect her personal experience of resilience and the ability of the female archetype to extend and inform beyond ethnic and religious borders.

MAKOR is an interdisciplinary production including students from the School of Dance, School of Theater, and School of Music.
