Beautiful, mysterious, funny, thought-provoking and enticing \u2013 the Curtain Up dance festival will take place from November 3 \u2013 12, 2011 at the Suzanne Dellal Centre in Tel Aviv and the Jerusalem Theatre, Jerusalem. The diversity of contemporary dance is reflected in the festival which showcases the work of emerging Israeli choreographers. Following last year\u2019s new format, the festival will include three programs of dance premieres, each under the baton of a different artistic director. This year\u2019s artistic directors are: Tamar Borrer, Sahar Azimi and Ronit Ziv \u2013 all leading choreographers active in the Israeli dance scene.<\/p>\n

Choreographers who wish to participate in Curtain Up may choose the choreographer with whom they would like to work, imbuing the mentoring relationship with synergy. The artistic directors on their part, as dancers\/choreographers themselves, are intimately acquainted with the artistic and emotional process of developing an idea into a dance work for the stage, and uniquely suited to provide that external critical eye on a dance piece in its most vulnerable stages.<\/p>\n

What to see? Midnight East recommends: see all three programs if you can. This morning\u2019s preview, with brief glimpses of each work, revealed a spectrum of movement languages, moods and colors, an exhilarating array of creativity and excellent performances.<\/p>\n
