About
This year, I plan to glimpse the lives and actions of Biblical, Talmudic women figures through the lens of improvisation. Improvisation as spontaneous acts, words, movements which emerge at turning points, moments of crisis, dissonance, despair, or destabilization. Some women who come to mind so far are: Eve, Sarah, Hagar, Rachel, Leah, Rebecca, Chana, Esther, Yehudit(Judith), Tamar, the Daughters of Zelophchad, Bruriah a Talmudic scholar , who was married to Rabbi Meir. Together we will explore, appreciate and deepen our relationships; discover our own capacities, examples from our own lives as improvisational artists.
