An Evening of Experimental Middle Eastern Dance's purpose is to create a space for Middle Eastern dancers and belly dancers to perform their controversial works. The concert consists of vignettes that are constructed, choreographed, and performed by a variety of dancers. The pieces, based in the Middle Eastern dance idiom, make present borders, edges, and standard representations visible by pushing past them. They also bring to light the often covered-up and neglected issues of gender roles, cultural appropriation, the ambiguity of eroticism and sexuality, the role of the audience, and stereotyping.
