Zvidance

Fresh off of a successful run at New York Live Arts in Dec, The Catskill Mountain Foundation presented Zvidance's MAIM (Hebrew for Water) at the Orpheum Theater in Tannersville, NY on Jan 19, 2020. The piece centers around water and our relationship to it as climate change and global relocations alter our access to and use of water. Choerographer Zvi Gotheiner was born on a kibbutz in Israel and learned early on the social and political issues surrounding clean water. Projection design by Joshua Higgason, lighting by Mark London, and compositions by Scott Killian. More information
