| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Outreach, Myriad Voices: A Cross Cultural Festival - BOU continued its collaboration on Myriad Voices, a showcase of Arab and Muslim theatre artists and an initiative of Georgetown Universitys Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics. In association with the Lab and its founders Ambassador Cynthia Schneider and Dr. Derek Goldman, BOU curates a series of discussions surrounding the impact of theatre on public perception and policy and supported the development of Generation (WH)Y? an immersive theatre and technology experience that showcased the voices of Arab and Muslim youth. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Outreach, Places of Pilgrimage - BOU produced this video and podcast series, conceptualized with award-winning Iraqi American playwright Heather Raffo and Epic Theatre Ensemble. It provides a platform for the stories of and relating to young Arabs living in marginalized communities. Developed through theatrical writing workshops, these pieces provide a startling and frank look at the life-altering journeys that trailblazing individuals have taken and the bravery required to talk about them. Most importantly, they tell us in their own words words that never fail to resonate across cultures and regions. Mentors engaged by BOU as part of this series included filmmaker Cherien Dabis, activist Mona Eltahawy, and actor Nadia Dajani. |
