I am currently in Jeruslaem, Israel taking a semester abroad at Hebrew University and Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. So far, I have worked with Vertigo Dance company and performed an informal rendition of Mana, I have worked with various Batsheva alumni to informal present section of various Batsheva repertoire such as Three, Mamootot, Black Milk, First Line, and Ingoor, and have just began working with Amir Kolben to reimagine a repertory piece from his company Kolben Dance Company. I am only about to start my fourth week at the Academy, but so far, it has been an incredible experience! I have begun diving deeper into my knowledge of Release technique, am taking ballet class from 3 very different but amazing ballet instructors from Israel and Europe, and to gain more skills in composition with Melanie Berson, a well-known choreographer and critic in Israel. In other words, this experience already has been worth every penny and I am only half way done. For more week-to-week blog updates about my Israeli experience visit my Israel blog!
