January 16, 2021 - La Mona Myr's Riku meshuGAME With Denis Grutcki
March 13-14, 2021 - Israeli Folkdance Festival of Boston
Dear members of the Rikud community -
As you have probably guessed, the 2021 Israel
Folkdance Festival of Boston will not happen in its normal format this
year. However, we plan to host events on Festival weekend (Saturday night
March 13th and Sunday afternoon March 14th 2021) and are excited to invite you
to participate in a virtual performance on Saturday evening! You can
join us from anywhere and dance in as many pieces as appropriate.
Here's how it will work: choreographers from years past are
reviving pieces for 3 different age groups:
Kid and Loving Adult - Siba LeMesiba choreographed
by Nomie Bental and Eliana Wachs-Cashman
Elementary/Middle School - LaUf choreographed
by Ellen Berkowitz
High School - Adults - Hora Meshulevet
choreographed by Alexis Maharam
How do you participate?
- Fill out this form to
let us know you'd like to participate and in which dances you'd like
to dance.
- The choreographer will reach out to you with teaching videos
for your chosen piece, and will let you know about the Zoom rehearsal
schedule.
- You'll learn the dance from the teaching videos and Zoom
rehearsals. Then you'll record yourself dancing the piece. We'll provide
instructions later about how to send your video in for a video editor to
create a whole "performance".
- Deadlines for sending your video will be around January 20th
for the first half of the piece and February 10th for the end. You will
receive final details after you sign up
Confused? See here for an
example of the end product.
You must sign up by January 5th, 2021 in order to participate so
please fill out this form ASAP and tell all your friends to dance with us as
well!! Anyone can dance - wherever they are in the world. We look
forward to dancing with you!!
Other things are cooking for Festival weekend so save the date
and stay tuned by following us on Facebook, visiting our website (bostonfestival.org), and
watching your inbox!
We can't wait to dance with you,
The Israel Folkdance Festival of Boston Coordinating
Committee, Nomie Bental, and Ellen Berkowitz
