  Yaraqa

  Oct 2023 - now

  Research strategist

  Serving as the qualitative research analyst/strategist/writer on a project using a graph data model to disseminate the findings of a two-year study examining the dance ecosystem in Lebanon. The project is an experimental and abductive approach to research that prioritizes an applied methodology in both the gathering of data on the dance ecosystem and its dissemination. I am collaborating with Yaraqa, a designer, and a programmer to strategize a model and build content for the site. My work is informed by the qualitative and quantitative data gathered over two-years during Yaraqa’s catapult.body initiative, funded by the British Council Lebanon. The mission of the study is to amplify the dance ecosystem in Lebanon through practitioner centric information about ongoing patterns and needs, and bolster dance in Lebanon for the benefit of society.
