The field of contemporary dance in Israel is complex and unusual in scope, saturated with references to local cultural, social and political contexts and with deep affinities to the international dance arena. The podcast offers an informed and enjoyable discourse about dance in Israel for a wide audience, researchers and students.
We invite you to listen to Creatures of Dance, a podcast on contemporary dance in Israel with Yali Nativ and Iris Lana.

"Connections and Living Bodies" - Dance in the aftermath of October 7th and the war
A series of ten episodes reflecting on thoughts and reactions in the dance community following the October 7th crisis and during the war. We sat with choreographers, artistic directors, and directors of dance institutions to talk about new artistic practices, the ways the community organizes itself inwardly and outwardly in the face of the international dance field, about new performative formats, the complex experience among Israeli dancers and choreographers who live in abroad, the role of the art of dance art in times of a tragedy and war, and the unique role of the moving body and its contribution to the community itself and the general public
All 10 episodes of this series were filmed and will be soon uploaded to our website with subtitles in English.
