The Jerusalem International Solo Dance Festival (JISDF)
For the first time: a unique international contemporary dance festival in Jerusalem. An exceptional event held by Angela Dance Co. Jerusalem, presenting solo works by choreographers from Israel and around the world in direct contact with the audience – Three days of high-quality art under open skies in the mythical Hansen House compound, in a special Jerusalem late-summer atmosphere.
Alongside main performances, the festival offers master classes, discussion events open to the general public and the professional community, and holds a residency program for Jerusalem artists and international guests. JISDF – Jerusalem 2022 is an immediate meeting point in the connection between cultures and people, in the tension between body and place, and in the possibility of personal and universal multidisciplinary expression – just like this city. In a black dress and sneakers, in ripped jeans and a blazer, the JISDF festival celebrates movement, and creation that is all here and now.
JISDF is a unique contemporary dance festival celebrating the performance art, craft and theme of the solo creation and creator in the international sphere
The artistic vision of this international event highlights the art of Dance as an act of Story-Telling, bringing forward the individual’s narrative. The curation of the works is emphasizing physical, multi-disciplinary dance language and expression of the body – as a meeting point and a common ground between people. JISDF is bringing forward the artist’s story, told and expressed through an original, most human point of view.
