Time to Dance Again

When: Sunday, March 2nd, 3 pm Reception, 4 pm Recital

Where: JCC Indianapolis, 6701 Hoover Rd. Indianapolis, IN 46220

The community of Sderot is near the border between Gaza and Israel. The entire community has been affected by trauma for many years because of the tension of living under constant threat of missiles, and this came to a fever pitch after October 7th. Now, over a year after the tragedy and continued war, dancers are exploring how to enter a dance class, how to engage with the body, and how to create art in a time of such tension.

This mission is what brings two Israeli dancers, Adi Gewurtz and Eirad Ben Gal, to Indianapolis. Hailing from the Sderot Adama Movement Center, they have spent many years using and teaching dance as a way to process post-traumatic stress experienced by their community.

This program, Time to Dance Again, is an afternoon where people will come together through the healing power of art and movement. Adi and Eirad will perform an original piece exploring themes of trauma and recovery in the aftermath of October 7th. There will also be a reception before the program where people can contribute to a mosaic that will go to Sderot.

This program is free and open to the public.

Presented thanks to the generous support of Glick Philanthropies and the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis.
