Whether she is performing a solo she choreographed, improvising with the Octet, or teaching a contemporary dance class, Shlomit Fundaminsky is someone to watch. She has drawn my eyes in all of these settings. Onstage she fully embodies the clever characters she creates, and in the studio, she passes on her passion for movement to her many students. I have had the pleasure of talking with Shlomit on many occasions throughout this year, and we finally sat down to record an engaging conversation this summer. Join us as we discuss her career, the connection between improvisation and life, the realities of being a dancer in Israel, and how life in Israel affects the dance that is made here.
