BEREISHIT DANCE COMPANY
Bereishit Dance Company was founded in 2011. Bereishit is the first word in the Hebrew scriptures, meaning “In the beginning,” and symbolizing the starting point for all human beings and human history. The Company is interested in the various aspects that are centered around humans and human history such as phenomena, forms, situations, and states and tries to explore and interpret the origins of expressions made through movement. Bereishit Dance Company explores the physical laws of nature, contact improvisation, expression through movement and behaviors, and kinesthetic possibilities as a method of expression, and attempts to articulate the forms of content within various genres.
