Want to talk about dance? Diablogue invites choreographers to share their work in progress with the public. The first meeting, hosted by guest artist Lior Grady, will take place on Friday, February 14, 2014.
Diablogue is a joint initiative of choreographer Ella Ben Aharon and Neta Pulvermacher, Dean of the Dance Faculty at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, based on the Dance Conversations program Pulvermacher created in New York, produced by FLEA theater in 2001. Pulvermacher invited Ben Aharon to be co-curator from 2004 – 2006, and in time the program evolved to become The A.W.A.R.D Show! with competitions taking place in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle.
Meetings will take place once every two months, featuring works in progress by 3 – 4 choreographers. A conversation between the audience and choreographers will follow the presentation, moderated by a guest artist. Audiences will have the opportunity to provide (anonymous) feedback to the choreographers, and to choose one dance work that they found most striking. At the year’s end, the selected works will be performed on a professional stage at the closing event.
As the name suggests, Diablogue will be accompanied by an internet site, click here to check it out.
