Project RAu connects audiences to the idea of cross-cultural oneness through multiple national and international presentations of dance. Scored with the music of Syrian composer Kinan Azmeh, RAu focuses on the sensitive and political subject matter of human migration.  Through this collaborative work and the belief that Art is a window to the memory of experience, we shift focus from one of fear to one of understanding through our common sense of humanity.  RAu has unfolded through residencies in Boston, New York and Istanbul, The final work reflects on the international refugee crisis through a message of action, re-calculation, and caring.  As artists, our aim, at a minimum, is to provoke thought and discussion, and, at a maximum, to be a catalyst for change. To this end, Prometheus Dance has entered into a collaboration with Korhan Basaran and Kinan Azmeh, Project RAu, whose name - a take off on 'Raw' - reflects an emphasis on spontaneity, change, growth, and 'the process of becoming.'
