Adama’s Dancers Rehearsing.

The several hour trek south from Tel Aviv to Mizpe Ramon in the Negev
desert is tiring, but at the end of the journey is a refreshing oasis:
Adama, an extraordinary dance center created by Liat Dror and Nir Ben
Gal.  I first experienced the magic of Adama during a two-day visit in
January and was thrilled to return this April for some more dancing
and, of course, two interviews!

I interviewed Liat after she taught a dance class for the Adama
school’s students, the company members, a group of photography
students visiting from Sderot, and a few “tourists” like myself who
had dropped in for a few days.  The mixture of people was as unique as
Adama itself.  Intrigued?  Join us as Liat talks about how she and Nir
forged a new path in Israeli contemporary dance, moved to the desert,
and developed an innovative approach to healthy, healing movement.
