Bridges – Art creating meetings between Palestinian and Jewish

 

On November 2014 a Palestinian-Jewish Dance Group started working together in Kfar Yasif, with the 

choreographers and teachers Rabeah Morkus from Kfar Yasif and Ilanit Tadmor from Tel Aviv.

The purpose of the project is to encourage communication, collaboration and joint creation between conflicting groups. 

Dancing together is our way to offer a message of acceptance and tolerance through creative action. The art of dance allows closeness, contact and non-verbal communication, through which we build an open dialogue. Encouraging young people to dialogue, to listen, to accept, is the only way for us to build a bridge between the cultures and eventually bring a significant change.

In the last years Rabeah and Ilanit have been working together in various projects, offering the dance as a tool for meeting and connection.
