Hello!

We invite you to listen to Creatures of Dance, a podcast on contemporary dance in Israel with Yali Nativ and Iris Lena. In our first series (chapters 1-5) we offer a broad view of dance works and their creators and discuss topics such as Israeli identity, Israeliness, gender, and ethnicity. In the second series (chapters 6-19) we talk with choreographers about the creative process, choreographic practices and the production of movement material. Chapter 20 will be dedicated to dance festivals in Israel and will question their role and significance in the Israeli dance ecosystem. In each episode we hoast choreographers, artists, researchers and others from the Israeli cultural field.  

 
The Israeli contemporary dance field is vibrant, complex and unique in its scope and its cultural, social and political contexts, both local and global. Our intention is to shed light on this extraordinary phenomenon and to create a lively and knowledgeable discourse for the benefit of wide and diverse audiences.
