Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance – New Ensemble Piece

I have the incredible opportunity to create an original work for the JAMD Ensemble this semester, to be performed early February 2015. The Ensemble represents the elite dancers studying at the academy. I am collaborating with musicians Liliana Carrizo (current Fulbright Fellow) and her husband Andres Carrizo to examine the “Ten Sephirot”, as seen in the Kabbalaistic depiction of the Tree of Life, as choreographic and sonic maps for generating new work. Here is a photo from our first rehearsal, and a short clip of movement generated by the students representing “Keter” in the Tree of Life.
