cnet.comNew York’s Peridance Contemporary Dance Company will tour Israel from June 29 to July 5, performing in Haifa, Herzliya, and Jerusalem. The company brings 14 dancers and a program of five works that range from Chinese-American choreographer Yin Yue’s FoCo style to a Bach quartet by Katarina Skarpetowska and Marco Goecke’s Firebird.
Background on the company and its founder Peridance was founded in Manhattan in 1984 by Igal Perry, who grew up in Tiberias and danced with the Karmon company before moving to New York. The troupe has appeared at the Joyce Theater, Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center and has toured in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Program and personal work The evening closes with Perry’s own Hora Mine, which uses fragments of the Israeli folk dance to explore memory and shared experience. Perry said the dancers chose to make the trip despite cancellations by other companies. “The dancers understand the situation, and they still want to come,” he said.
The performances are scheduled at the Haifa Auditorium, the Herzliya Performing Arts Center, and the Jerusalem Theatre.
