Room Dances 2015\/Design: Eyal Zakin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 27th Room Dances Festival will take place from December 16 – 19, 2015 at the Gerard Behar Center in Jerusalem, and on December 24 – 26, 2015 at Hateiva in Tel Aviv. The festival presents works performed by a solo dancer or small ensemble, in the intimate atmosphere of a room, without the elevation and distance created by the stage, placing an strong emphasis on the movement of the dancer. Festival Artistic Directors are Prof. Amos Hetz, founder of the Room Dance Festival, and Lior Evitzur.<\/p>\n

This year’s theme will be “Metamorphosis” – from the festival statement:
\nThis year we have chosen \u201cMetamorphosis\u201d \u2013 both in its metaphoric and in its biologic sense. Daphne rejects Apollo\u2019s embrace and becomes a laurel tree; Narcissus falls in love with his own reflection, falls into the water and becomes a flower; and Gregor Samsa \u2013 how did he become an insect?<\/em>
\nWe wonder: which secret comes into being inside the egg? What do the distinctive stages of each transformation have in common? What sort of movement is contained in each form?<\/em><\/p>\n

The full festival program and descriptions of each work is available in English on the Room Dances Festival website<\/a>. There is a special project with guest dancer Renate Graziadei, and the Bikkurim (first harvest) project in cooperation with the Jerusalem Foundation, offering a professional stage to five new graduates.<\/p>\n
