Today, I'm presenting you with a conversation with Megan Lowe, a Bay Area dancer, choreographer, performer, aerialist, singer, songwriter, filmmaker, teacher, and administrator of Chinese and Irish descent.
A couple of weeks ago, my partner and I attended a Megan Lowe Dances performance. It was at the ODC Theater and it was called Gathering Pieces of Peace.
There were four mindblowingly skilled dancers, all of mixed -race identity, and the performance was about reckoning with the pieces of your identity, making peace with those pieces.
As a person who is not of mixed -race identity, but an immigrant in a different context here in the US, than I was back where I came from, I can always relate to having your identity be fractured, be scattered, having to gather up the pieces of it.
I was delighted to notice that in Gathering Pieces of Peace there was a thread of conversation about tattoos throughout the entire performance.
When it was over, the friend who invited my partner and I to the performance turned to me and said, Megan would be perfect for your podcast. And I said, I would love that. we got connected and we made it happen and here is our conversation.
Megan and I talk about tattoos of course, but also belonging, identities, community building, relationship creating, and such.
