SUMMARY:Sunday School + Klezmer Dance 101 with Bruce Bierman
DESCRIPTION:Classes will meet as usual this Sunday\, May 4\, beginning at 10 a.m.   Please come early for coffee\, bagels and schmoozing. \nAlso\, we are delighted to bring back Bruce Bierman for another workshop in Jewish dance.  All are welcome!  There will be a one hour adult workshop from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.\, followed by a workshop for the entire school and parents from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. \nKlezmer Dance 101: A Mitsve to be in Simkhe \nCome move\, laugh\, and connect at this joyful workshop for youth and their families! Once nearly forgotten\, the traditional Jewish folk dances of the Ashkenazi Jews—like the Freylekh\, Joq\, Husidl\, Sher\, Bulgar\, and Patsh Tanz—are now joyfully returning to life\, thanks to a renaissance sparked by the tireless work of passionate Yiddish music and dance folkologists and researchers. \nNo experience is needed. whether dancing in community\, with a chaver (a friend)\, or stepping out solo in a moment of shayning—showing off your own unique flair—there’s room for everyone. Led by an experienced dance leader—but always invited to dance to the beat of your own drummer—this is dance for the Folk\, where joy matters more than perfection. \nBruce Bierman is the co-artistic director of the award-winning Yiddish Theatre Ensemble of Berkeley and is a leading presenter of Jewish dance throughout California.  Bruce has studied with a handful of great Jewish dance masters including Felix Fibich–who with his wife and mentor\, Judith Berg\, choreographed the 1937 Yiddish classic film\, ‘The Dybbuk’.  Bruce was a lead dancer and teaching artist with the acclaimed Aman Folk Ensemble of Los Angeles and a regular at the Skirball Museum with Mostly Kosher and John Anson Ford Theater with the L.A. Jewish Symphony.  He recently served as Yiddish dance and theater dramaturg for several productions of Paula Vogel’s ‘Indecent’ at the Arena Stage\, Oregon Shakespeare Festival and the critically acclaimed production at the San Francisco Playhouse. Here’s a short video introduction to Bruce. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH2Uh7fxSQw
