We’d featured Vertigo’s eco-village taking root in a chicken coop on Green Prophet before, and our friend Ehud from the Jerusalem Post, wrote a brilliant piece on the village.
Today Rivi Nissim, our multi-talented dance friend, photographer and architect from Bodyways, Israel’s largest dance portal, sent us a notice of a new eco-themed festival she’s planning with Vertigo for next weekend –– “Where body and nature collide.”
Green sensory overload. We love it.
It’s the first dance festival Rivi has planned with Vertigo and the first with a decidedly green theme. The four day celebration, a collaboration between Bodyways and Vertigo Dance Company, called Hagiga, will include workshops, performances, jams and dancing. Following the successes of previous years, the festival organizers invite curious people to meet, move and learn, face to face in expressive ways with the body. It’s all happening during the Hebrew holiday of Shavuot.
In a special performance, Vertigo will perform Birth of the Phoenix, their ecologically-minded dance performance about the dialogue between humans and the environment.
Borders, though an understood concept in the modern world, are anything but natural.
