The Dance Complex, in association with MIT Open Space Programming, presents Dance Film Shorts with Rachel Linsky on March 21, 2024 at the MIT Welcome Center.
Rachel Linsky will be screening two dance films inspired by the work and story of Mieczyslaw Weinberg. The first, “Z”L”, that she choreographed through the JArts and CJP Community Creative Fellowship, and the second, “Forgotten Flame”, choreographed by ZACHOR’s 2023 Teen Intensive cohort.
This past year, Rachel began an exploration to fuse contemporary dance with Yiddish dance as a way to honor Weinberg’s legacy and celebrate the influences that he kept alive in his music. Following the film screenings, Rachel will lead the audience in a Yiddish dance workshop to bring them into the research! Audiences are encouraged to wear shoes that they are comfortable moving in. All are welcome and no previous dance experience is required! Please arrive a few minutes early to fill out a waiver.
The creation of these dance films was made possible through the generous support of Combined Jewish Philanthropies, the Jewish Arts Collaborative, The Beker Foundation, Boston Moving Arts Productions, and Next Steps for Boston Dance: A Boston Foundation, Aliad Fund, Movement Arts Creation Studio Partnership.
