Faraway is Close: a podcast from Shebana Coelho

I’m a writer, filmmaker and performance artist, originally from India.  In all my work, I seek to get to the oldest root within me, the oldest stone, that which remembers dark and manifests in metaphor, sound, silence, movement. These days, I really just want to dance, sing, write and nurture creativity in fellow story-travelers. And create fierce gentle solo plays woven with dance, story and poetry. To me, it’s all the same journey, excavating what oppresses, what liberates in a felt body sense. More and more, I am understanding the ripple effects of colonization - historical, emotional, cultural - on everything.
