The prestigious JISDF Festival presents selected solo dance works by leading choreographers from around the world and novel works by Israeli artists. It presents an exceptional and festive event held by Angela Dance Company, Jerusalem, inviting the audience to take part in a five day international dance event in the Jerusalem late-summer atmosphere with a lot of good wine.
Under open skies in the magical Beit Hansen compound and in the spectacular spaces of the Jerusalem Theater, the audience is invited to participate in the various events offered by the festival, including the central stage performances, the opening event, the closing concert, and other events rich in content. This year the festival hosts works and artists from China, Spain, Japan, Italy, Georgia, Israel, USA, Brazil, and more. The best international and Israeli creators will perform solo dance works, original productions, and world premieres created especially for the festival.
The JISDF – Jerusalem 2023 Festival is an immediate meeting point, connecting between cultures and people, experiencing the tension between body and place, and offering the possibility of personal and universal multidisciplinary expression – just like this city does. In a black dress and sneakers, in ripped jeans and a blazer, the JISDF festival celebrates movement and creation that are all about the 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.
