“Dabke … is an infectious folk-based dance… I loved it so much that I returned to see it a second time.”
—NEW YORK TIMES
Join Contemporary Dance Theater as we open our 2014-2015 Season. CDT is proud to present ZviDance of New York, showcasing Artistic Director Zvi Gotheiner’s stunning new work Dabke.
Dabke was inspired by Zvi’s childhood on a kibbutz and energetically combines rich Israeli and Arabic folk dance and music. Traditionally performed by men at weddings and celebrations, the dabke references solidarity visualized through linked hands and shoulders. The dancers stomp the ground in complex alternating rhythms, asserting their connection with the land. Zvi’s work tells the story of community and the deeply rooted impulses that prompt people to dance.
