Otherhood is a series of solos choreographed by Meghan Durham/Merge Dance. The piece explores the idea of childlessness, and draws upon motherhood/parenthood as an institution in society and history. The solos ultimately consider varying perspectives on expectation, nurture, creativity, and legacy. Otherhood employs movement/dance as the organizing framework to look at some of the implications, insights, social stigmas, and emotional journeys of adults without biological children.
The choreographic project incorporates movement, text and imagery, and collaborates with an original score by Michael Wall, a Philadelphia-based composer.
