In HaMapah / המפה, McKinney explores issues of culture, self-hood, and community.In exploring his African, Jewish, and Native American heritages, McKinney dances the personal and the collective, the local and the global, and the present and the past. HaMapah/המפה invites audiences to consider and envision the possibility of a global Jewish identity.As part of the program, immediately following the performance, DNAWORKS Co-Directors McKinneyand Banks lead a community dialogue with the audience about the core ideas of the piece.
