If I Were You - Project Israel
October 3rd 7:00pm, Dominican University of CA Angelico Concert Hall, San Rafael
October 10th 8:00pm, October 11th 4:00pm, ODC Commons, San Francisco
Inside Out Contemporary Ballet, Marin County's one and only professional dance company, presents it's third home season, If I Were You - Project Israel. The second iteration of a long-term international outreach project, If I Were You is a community-inspired dance collaboration that enlists the personal experiences and voices of global citizens to illuminate how dance can connect us to our shared humanity. Throughout Artistic Director Casey Lee Thorne’s Fulbright Fellowship to Israel 2014-2015, she conducted free community outreach workshops throughout Israel and Occupied Palestine to examine the role of dance in self-discovery and community-building. If I Were You – Project Israel will feature an original score by composer Ben Juodvalkis along with sounds from the Middle East, a large-scale set design by Lisa Boling Huntsman, and a contemporary ballet choreographed by Casey Lee Thorne. IOCB anticipates that this piece will challenge – and simultaneously affirm – its belief that dance exposes what is most personal to us as well as most universal.
