Free Dance Film + Talk: “Everything You Have Is Yours” (ODC Theater)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

In Everything You Have Is Yours, NYC-based choreographer Hadar Ahuvia interrogates the roots of the Israeli folk dances she grew up dancing with her mother in the U.S. Confronting romanticized stories about her grandparents, settlers in 1930s Palestine, Ahuvia embarks on a personal journey to reckon with the founding mythologies and transgressions of Zionism. Through her work, a web of artistic portraits emerges – Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian dancers living in New York City grapple with the questions of what we inherit and what we embody to carry forward.

Hadar Ahuvia and Zaquia Salinas will be facilitating embodied grounding before and brave conversation after the film screening.

“The film by choreographer-turned-filmmaker Tatyana Tenenbaum not only contextualizes Israeli folk dance within the cultural history of Israel and Palestine, but also contends with the embodied performance of culpability and appropriation…The resulting film is a complicated and thorny portrait of dance as a form of cultural expression that cannot exist without context.” – Carly Mattox, Documentary Magazine
