Meaningful solutions: Keshet investigates 'A More Beautiful Question' through dance

Keshet Dance Company will explore “A More Beautiful Question” through contemporary dance from Friday, Nov. 1, through Saturday, Nov. 9.

Set at the Keshet Center for the Arts, the program will feature eight choreographers responding to the theme. The six dancers are members of the Keshet Dance Company.

The questions are designed to guide us to investigate more genuine problems, allowing the most meaningful solutions. The eight choreographers will investigate this concept through their own creative lenses and contemporary movement spiced with jazz, ballet and rock ‘n’ roll.

Lara Segura’s untitled dance asks the audience to pen the title, said Evening Star Barron, communications manager at Keshet.

“It’s an exploration of the power of love and of doing something that feels good rather than how it looks,” she said.

Elysia Pope and Juliana Gorena created the joyful “Imo Mushi,” the Japanese word for caterpillar.

“Break, Shake and Wrap” was conceived by faculty member Ana Lopes Aréchiga’s response to constant questions.

“I think she means paths where we line up with each other as individuals,” Barron said.

Keshet artistic director Shira Greenberg created “Roads and Rituals.”

“That one has upper level, preprofessional students,” Barron said. “We’re trying to get to the roots of problems and get to meaningful solutions through the art of dance.”

“The opportunity to explore the theme of inquiry has been an exciting process for the choreographers and dancers,” Greenberg said. “We are honored to experience the results of this creative investigation with audiences. The importance of questioning has never been more necessary in our lives, preventing stasis and sparking progress for both personal growth and nurtured, thriving communities.”
