The Palestinian Movement Camp

Stereo48 recently held its first dance camp in collaboration with the Palestinian Circus School in Birzeit. The camp brought together over 40 artists from diverse backgrounds in dance, circus, and theater, coming from Nablus, Ramallah, Jenin, and from within the 1948 territories, including Yaffa, Haifa, Nazareth, Jerusalem, Kufr Yasif, and the Triangle area.

Prior to the camp, an audition was held to select a group of dancers for Badke, a new dance production by Stereo48 in collaboration with LaGeste in Belgium.

Throughout the camp, participants engaged in a series of workshops led by Stereo48, Studio Collective, Belgian director Hildagard De Vuyst , dancer Samer Karajeh from El-Funoun Popular Dance Troupe, and Ahmed Tobasi from The Freedom Theatre.

The camp was eld during a challenging time for Palestine, the camp was carefully planned to ensure the safety of participants, limiting unnecessary movement between cities. Despite the difficulties, the strong turnout highlighted the deep need for Palestinian artists to connect and create together.
