Workshop Description

The workshop takes its inspiration from the sounds, rhythms and traditional dances from Yemen*, Israel, and other Middle Eastern cultures. The workshop is offered to professional dancers as well as advanced dance students interested in expanding their contemporary vocabulary using the unique repertoire of the Middle East. During The first hour of the workshop, we will warm up through collective improvisation, exploring our physicality, with the focus of understanding our inner rhythm and connecting it to the unique Mediterranean sound.

We then explore the quality of movement, learning original choreography based on Yemenite and Arabic folklore movement, and deepening the relationship between movement and sound.

I aim that these movements, music and choreography will find their way to each participant’s own life:  in improvisation, creation, or even one’s morning classes.

*Yemenite dance and music have their own original rhythms and accents, originating from the Yemenite spoken language itself. Like most human cultures, Yemenite dance took place in traditional weddings and special gatherings dating back to the beginning of time.

The workshop’s research was funded by Dis-Tanzen Funding Program For Freelance Dancers Under Neustart – Kultur.
