The trailer for Mats Ek’s Place with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Ana Laguna
Mikhail Baryshnikov and Ana Laguna are currently in Israel, where they’ll perform at the Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and the Herzliya Performing Arts Center. The program, called Three Solos and a Duet, features the two dancers sharing the stage in works by Mats Ek, along with solos for Baryshnikov by Benjamin Millepied and Alexei Ratmansky. Deborah Friedes Galili wrote a wonderful overview of the press conference, where Baryshnikov answered questions and addressed issues ranging from politics, to his defection from the USSR, to his opinion about dance on ...
YelleB Dance Ensemble Presents Pericardium
May 26, 2010 · Posted by Dancing Perfectly Free ·
This weekend at Joyce SoHo, YelleB Dance Ensemble presents the premiere of Pericardium, a multicultural, multidisciplinary work that reveals human stories of physical and emotional walls.
Since 2006, NYC-based choreographer Ella Ben-Aharon has engaged in an artistic collaboration with Israeli video artist Adi Shniderman and German architect Matthias Neumann, continually exploring the use of portable walls as means of reconfiguring space while finding the delicacy of influences between body, virtual, and physical spaces. In Israel, Edo Ceder has started creating a video dance with British filmmaker Dan Farberoff to be filmed at the Separation Wall (also called the Israeli West Bank ...

April 21, 2010 · Posted by Body Pixel ·
Documentary Google Baby (2009) by film maker Zippi Brand Frank deals with birth outsourcing among three countries: Israel, USA and India. It involves business, technology (computers and human bodies) and a bunch of paradoxes. Israeli entrepreneur Doron Mamet proposes a new global service to all couples who want to have a baby, but for some [...]

Idan Cohen’s Swan Lake, photo by Marek Weis
Tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 PM, the Center for Performance Research will present Israeli choreographer Idan Cohen’s intriguing 2009 version of Swan Lake. Though this 21st-century interpretation does away with the fairy tale narrative, the royal court, and the corps of swans, Cohen preserved Tchaikovsky’s heart-wrenching score, only cutting a few sections so that his piece is eighty minutes in length. Additionally, he and his cast of three dancers explored themes in the original story – human nature, good versus evil, and different aspects of beauty – while considering the relevance of these ...
A Choreography of Healing in Israel
March 10, 2010 · Posted by Dancing Perfectly Free ·
Daniel Banks and Adam McKinney, the founders of DNAWORKS, recently spent time in Israel working with two young men – both of whom studied dance – left immobile below the ribs after a gunman opened fire last August on a safe space in Tel Aviv for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender youth. The Jewish Forward recently wrote about Banks and McKinney’s experience and approach, which focuses on utilizing creativity and artistic expression to strengthen the healing process and build personal identity. Here is an excerpt from this inspiring story.
Last August a gunman entered the Aguda building in Tel Aviv and ...

Going Gaga in Israel, Part Two
November 27, 2009 · Posted by Dancing Perfectly Free ·
Batsheva Dance Company’s studios at the Suzanne Dellal Centre
Last Friday morning, I returned to Tel Aviv’s Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre to take my second Gaga class. After reawakening my body in Thursday evening’s class and getting a good night of sleep, I was eager for more Gaga. About thirty other people and I entered the top floor of Batsheva’s studios for our class with Yaara, a former dancer with Batsheva Dance Company who started her own company last year. The spacious studio was flooded with morning sunlight and had a fantastic view of the sea.
Yaara’s verbal instructions ...
Going Gaga in Israel, Part One

The entrance to the Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre
Since first experiencing Gaga – the movement language created by Batsheva Dance Company’s artistic director Ohad Naharin – in early 2008, I have been yearning for more, and so has most of the dance world. When the Israel-based company performs abroad, they try to offer Gaga classes not only for dancers, but also for the general public. After all, Naharin developed Gaga after years of working with both dancers and non-dancers while also recovering from his own back injury. Batsheva trains daily in Gaga, and since 2001, open classes in ...
