{it is in you}: Health Justice Performance in Tanzania is a performance catalyzed by the insight of educators, health advocates, students and artists in Tanzania. In storytelling, dance, live music and spoken word, this performance of critical ethnography explores the politics of development, identity, HIV and the body. Rooted in the generously shared, deeply joyful and motion-centric nature of East African culture, this collaborative project hopes to honor the wisdom of Tanzanian friends and join public health, performing arts, and development politics as an experiment in sparking dialogue and reciprocal social change.

This project comes alive as the work and energy of so many in East Africa and in North Carolina, being kindled and carried anew with each kindness and invitation.

Questions:	"How do reciprocities of knowledge stand up against forces of colonized/colonizing minds, or modern health and development frameworks of "needs-based" rather than "assets-based" ideology?" "Can we experience cultural performance as a vibrant, dignified means of making meaning, and the body as a living and legitimate site for health and social change?"
