Moving Sacred Text Interfaith Work


The methodologies of Moving Torah Workshops and Moving Your Story Workshops as well as Moving Tefila (Moving Prayer) can be equally engaging and inspiring in interfaith settings, applied to any type of sacred text.  Andrea has many short performance pieces on the Hebrew Bible which may offer a unique and creative perspective in non-Jewish settings.

To explore the possibility of bringing Moving Sacred Text program to your institution, please contact us.  We look forward to creating meaningful and engaging experiences with you!

New Interfaith Project
Cover Stories: A Jewish and a Muslim Woman Forging Modern Identities Amidst Ancient Expectations

For a number of years, Andrea has been searching for a Muslim partner with a sister piece to Cutting My Hair in Jerusalem.  This summer we hope to bring to Los Angeles Ayesha S. Chaudhry, Asst. Prof. of Islamic Studies and Gender Studies at the University of British Columbia, who is developing a piece about her own experience with covering in the Muslim tradition entitled My Hair Betrays Me.  At the end of the summer we will workshop a piece combining Ayesha and Andrea's stories. Our desire is to create an evening of performance and discussion about balancing tradition and modernity -- with integrity -- geared toward Jews, Muslims and others.  Our intentions for the project are to perform in several locations throughout 2012-2013 and create a film with discussion guides to make the work and the conversations available nationally.  Please stay tuned for opportunities to participate in, and fund, this important work.
