Since more than 20 years, Mirjam has been traveling regularly to Palestine. During each of her stays, she has taken the opportunity to learn Dabke directly from local dancers and teachers. Among her most important influences are dancers from the renowned El-Funoun Dance Company in Ramallah, as well as Hanna Tams from the Douban Dance Company in East Jerusalem. Deeply moved by the devastating impact of the war on Gaza in 2023 and the ongoing situation in the West Bank, Mirjam has decided—for the first time—to share her knowledge in a public workshop. This workshop is an invitation to discover Dabke not only as a dance, but as a living cultural expression of community, resilience, and joy. Through movement, participants will gain insight into Palestinian culture and traditions in a respectful and embodied way. No previous dance experience is required. Everyone is welcome. #dabke #palestiniandabke #dabkeworkshop #freepalestine #mirjambarakar

Reportage: «Hier zu tanzen, ist Widerstand» Sie kommen in unsere Stadt, treten auf und verschwinden wieder. Für uns erscheinen reisende Künstler*innen nur im Rahmen kultureller Abendunterhaltung. Mit was für einem Rucksack aber kommen sie hier an und wohin gehen sie zurück? Vor eineinhalb Jahren führte Hanna Tams mit einer Tanzgruppe das Stück «Last Things Remaining» im Theater am Gleis auf. Der palästinensische Tänzer leitet in Ostjerusalem eine Tanzschule. Direkt neben der Trennmauer zur Westbank und unter der israelischen Besatzung vermittelt er sowohl Kindern als auch Erwachsenen Bewegungen und palästinensisches kulturelles Erbe. So bietet er eine alternative Perspektive zur Gewalt. Ein Besuch vor Ort. Die komplette Reportage gibt es in unserer Mai-Ausgabe Nr. 146, jetzt erhältlich oder unter coucoumagazin.ch oder über den Link in der Bio.
