A multi-media experience Presented by Dancer, Choreographer, Filmmaker

KAREN GOODMAN

Join us for this singular multi-media meditation on S. Ansky and his Dybbuk as related to the beautiful genre of Jewish art dance and the interplay between the weight of the past and its artistic expression in the present.

The present, of course, includes the effects of the current war in Ukraine on Jewish historical identity.

The presentation concludes with a viewing of Goodman’s short film Dybbuk Remix: Dancing Between Worlds (2022). Filmed in Kazimierz Dolny, Poland (where parts of the Yiddish film Der Dibek were shot), it features a “beautifully personal and insightful dance performance by Goodman”. The film has been well-received at film festivals and written up in LA Dance Chronicle here.
