A Creative Blind-Date: Project 48 Dance #3

The third edition of Project 48 Dance returns and invites choreographers, artists and performers to a creative 'Blind-Spin-Date.'

As part of this unique project, 10 dance works will be created in two 24 hour creation rounds. The process kicks off with a raffle in which the creative ensembles are drawn, each including a choreographer, a co-creator and a changing numbers of dancers. Then, a 'subject' is drawn to which all teams will react or be inspired by. From that point, each group has 24 hours to bring a new short dance piece to the stage which will be performed the following evening in front of a live audience at Mahsan 2. At the end of the 1st show a new raffle on stage will determine the teams and subject for the next round to be premiered 24 hours later.

The rehearsals will be streamed live, giving audience around the world the rare opportunity to be a fly on the wall in the creative processes of Israeli choreographers.
The streaming channel will go live on December 9th @9pm TLV time:
