The Clothesline Muse is a multi-disciplinary theater project that explores the clothesline as a metaphor of our community lifeline and its ties to our social history and current environment. The performance honors our ancestors and their stories by transforming the task of washing clothes by hand into beautiful imagery that includes dance, live music, spoken word, interview text, video and interactive art. The project collaborators are six-time Grammy nominated Nnenna Freelon as "The Muse," Maya Freelon Asante, Kariamu Welsh. After touring successfully, the grant will be used to engage a director and script consultant for potential regional theater, off-Broadway and Broadway production.
