Kennesaw State's Department of Dance to present "YAG: The Movie" featuring Batsheva Dance Company
March 01, 2022
Ƶ’s Department of Dance will present YAG: The Movie from Israel’s choreographer Ohad Naharin and Batsheva Dance Company. The film will be shown March 18-19 in person at the KSU Dance Theater on the Marietta campus, and March 18-20 via ArtsKSU Virtual. Screendances or dance-for-camera performances have been around since the early 1990s, but dance companies pivoted to the medium as a way to show work during the pandemic, according to Marsha Barsky, Chair of the Department of Dance. She says, “Screendances were vital during the pandemic since they provided an alternative form to presenting dance. Now that we are emerging from a post-pandemic world, we want to sustain and grow an appreciation for this art form by offering the best work available to both our students and our community.”
