Photo by Liz Lauren Dennis Oppenheim's oeuvre eludes categorization, encompassing a variety of media-using the environment, the body, even pyrotechnics; creating mechanical, kinetic constructions; and recently, mounting large-scale public art. "Theme for a Major Hit," a 1974 installation comprising a spotlit, motor-driven, dancing marionette accompanied by a song written by Oppenheim ("It ain't what you make, it's what makes you do it"), implicates the body and the self, albeit a step back and sideways. Dennis Oppenheim was born in 1938 in Electric City, WA (near Grand Coulee Dam, on which his father worked), and currently lives and works in New York City. He received a BFA from the School of Arts and Crafts (Oakland, CA) and an MFA from Stanford University (Palo Alto, CAl. He has had numerous solo exhibitions Dennis Oppenheim internationally, including shows at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Theme for a Major Hit, 197 4 Kunsthalle Basel; Tel Aviv Museum; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Motor-driven marionette Institute for Contemporary Art, Long Island City, NY; Corcoran Gallery of Art, consisting of 18' high figure, Washington, D.C.; recently, at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; and ceiling-mounted motor, string, Ludwig Forum, Aachen, Germany.

Company, a figure of adulation in his native Israel. By Mindy A/off It has been a year since the world premiere in Israel of Naharin's Virus, the choreographer's in­ ternationally acclaimed 75-minute spectacle of dance and theater whose ironic vision of peace contains spoken excerpts (the curses among them) from Offending the Audience, a play by the Austrian writer Peter Handke. The Handke piece is a cult classic from 1966 that sets out to ac­ complish exactly what its title portends. Naharin has fashioned the piece as a fiercely wrought demonstration of personal disagreement with Israeli governmental policies, which, he be­ lieves, savagely discriminate against the Palestin­ ian people. The play itself was written du ring the Vietnam War and the Palestinian uprisings of the mid-1960s as a sort of excoriation of war and the Naharin's Virus by Batsheva Dance Company. complacency that prepares one to accept war un­ Photo by Gadi Dagon thinkingly.

Yet the latter must be able to play a role as a driving force for conflict resolution and peace building. The arts, and dance in particular, can initiate new perspectives for the future. While performing arts have value in and for themselves, they can engage with societal challenges such as inequalities, migration, conflict and violence, and create a deeper intercultural understanding. The arts can prepare citizens to think critically, act creatively, and foster civic engagement and social change, while at the same time providing a safe space to express their emotions. Dancers For the World (DFW) has demonstrated its power in supporting the most vulnerable, empowering children, women and young adults, and creating protected surroundings to exchange in time of crises.

    MENŲ PAŽINIMO BENDROJI PROGRAMA ŠOKIO MODULIS Parengė: Ieva Norkūnienė Šokio modulis, kaip naujos MENŲ programos bendrojo lavinimo mokykloms dalis, skiriasi nuo ankstesnių šio dalyko programų funkcionavimo sociokultūrinėje aplinkoje pažinimo, suvokimo bei vertinimo veiklos kryptimis. Iš šiuolaikinio žiūrovo šokio menas reikalauja atvirumo naujoms estetinėms patirtims, gilesnių istorinių bei teorinių žinių, mąstymo ir analitinių gebėjimų – tai yra aktyvaus dalyvavimo ne tik priimant, bet ir suvokiant bei interpretuojant scenos kūrinį, įvertinant jo estetinę vertę, meninius ypatumus. Šokio dalyko, kaip ir MENŲ programos, tikslas bei uždaviniai – plėtoti mokinių estetinę, kultūrinę ir bendrąsias (iniciatyvumo ir kūrybingumo, asmeninę, socialinę ir pilietinę, mokymosi mokytis, pažinimo) kompetencijas, ugdyti sumanų ir aktyvų kultūrinio gyvenimo dalyvį. Ir kartu – auginti nuovokų ir tolerantišką šokio meno žiūrovą (suvokėją, interpretatorių), kuris geba analizuoti ir vertinti šokio spektaklio ar judesio reiškinio estetinius bei meninius ypatumus ir moka taikyti šiuos gebėjimus skirtingoje meninėje aplinkoje, kasdieniame gyvenime bei veikloje.

    NATIONAL MEDAL OF ARTS | NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK ​ FOR IMAGES AND MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicole Tomasofsky, Public Relations and Publications Coordinator 413.243.9919 x132 [email protected] BATSHEVA - THE YOUNG ENSEMBLE BRINGS INIMITABLE GAGA MOVEMENT TO JACOB’S PILLOW DANCE FESTIVAL, JULY 4–8 June 27, 2018 (Becket, MA) Batsheva - The Young Ensemble performs the Bessie Award-winning ​ ​ Naharin’s Virus in the Ted Shawn Theatre at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, July 4–8. The work ​ showcases the “superhumanly spry” (The New York Times) abilities of the Israel-based contemporary ​ ​ dance company, a second branch of Batsheva Dance Company. Batsheva and The Young Ensemble have gained international recognition for their use of the innovative movement research Gaga, developed by Artistic Director Ohad Naharin. With Gaga as their primary tool, The Young Ensemble lets go of the constraints of their technical training and unleashes the “free, exhilarating range of their ​ movement” (The Guardian). ​ ​ “It is an absolute honor to welcome Ohad Naharin and Batsheva’s Young Ensemble to the Pillow for an immersive week, particularly in Ohad’s final months as Artistic Director. We invite audiences to see a performance, observe dancers in The School at Jacob’s Pillow, and attend a PillowTalk with Ohad, to engage with the movement research of Gaga from the source. It’s really a once in a lifetime opportunity,” says Jacob’s Pillow Director Pamela Tatge. The Young Ensemble’s performances coincide with the two-week Professional Advancement program, Gaga: The Movement Language of Ohad Naharin, offered by The School at Jacob’s Pillow.

  • "Who's Right? Whose Rite? American, German Or Israeli Views of Dance" by Judith Brin Ingber
    Title in Hebrew: "Nikuudot mabat amerikiyot, germaniyot ve-yisraliot al ma<h>ol: masa aishi be'ekvot ha-hetpat<h>ot ha-ma<h>olha-moderni ve-haammami be-yisrael" m --- eds. Henia Rottenbergand Dina Roginsky, Dance Discourse in Israel, published by Resling, Tel Aviv, Israel in200J "Who's Right? Whose Rite? American, German or Israeli Views of Dance" By Judith Brin Ingber The crux of dance writing, history, criticism, research, teaching and performance of course is the dance itself. Unwittingly I became involved in all of these many facetsof dance when I came from the US forfive months and stayed in Israel forfive years (1972-77). None of these facetswere clear cut and the diamond I thought I treasured and knew how to look at and teach had far more complexity, influences with boundaries blending differently than I had thought. Besides, what I had been taught as to how modem dance developed or what were differencesbetween types of dance had different bearings in this new country. My essay will synthesize dance informationand personal experiences including comments on Jewish identity while reporting on the ascension of modem dance and folkdance in Israel. It was only later as I began researching and writing about theatre dance and its development in Israel, that I came to realize as important were the living dance traditions in Jewish eydot (communities) and the relatively recent history of the creation of new Israeli folkdances. I came to see dance styles and personalities interacting in a much more profoundand influential way than I had ever expected. I was a studio trained ballet dancer, my teachers Ballets Russes alums Anna Adrianova and Lorand Andahazy; added to that, I studied modem dance at SarahLawrence College in New York.
