We invite you to listen to Creatures of Dance, a podcast on contemporary dance in Israel with Yali Nativ and Iris Lana.

The podcast offers an informed and enjoyable discourse about dance in Israel for a wide audience, researchers and students. Some episodes are produced in the recording studio, some in homes and dance studios, and others live, as a performative form, in the presence of an audience.
