SUMMARY:Yizkor Dance Performance: Darkness into Light (multi-access)
DESCRIPTION:Connect to Yikzor (the quarterly service of remembrance for tho
 se who have died)\, impending darkness\, cycles of life and death and rebi
 rth\, which is the essence of Tishrei energy\, and the high holidays. Joa
 nie Block is the founder and Artistic Director of  SELMADANSE.  Her danc
 es frequently address Jewish themes.  Here she describes her most recent 
 work:\n\nWhen my husband died in November\, I watched the memorial candle 
 flicker out as the Chanukah candles were being lit.  In that moment I tho
 ught to myself\, "The light and the darkness\, never far from each other
 ”.\n\nRabbi Yitzhak Shemuel Reggio\, a 19th century Italian Torah commen
 tator\, considered the Plague of Darkness as a phenomenon not of literal d
 arkness\, but a darkness that befell the soul of the Egyptians.  A darkne
 ss that symbolizes a need to re-examine one's opinions\, assumptions and b
 ehavior.  A darkness that can propel us toward a more humane world.\n\nLi
 ving in New England\, many brace for the inevitable darkness that seeps in
 to our psyches as we wait out the seemingly endless weeks for the returnin
 g light.  Dance\, our collective stories and the challenge to examine our
  behavior offer a portal into an alternative perception of these apparent 
 antithetical forces.  Can they change our experience of winter?  I think
  so!!\n\nThis will be an in-person event at TBZ\, but will also be live-st
 reamed on Zoom.
