This 2 hour Master Class, first of its kind, provides an introduction to the unique movement language devised by choreographer and artistic director Noa Wertheim over the years with the Vertigo Dance Company.

This particular language has been influenced and inspired by a variety of dance techniques and mind-body disciplines. Based on classical ballet and Release it converses with contact improvisation and incorporates the wisdom of Eastern martial arts like Tai Chi and Chi Gong as well as Jewish philosophy and spiritual teaching.

This is an opportunity to join Noa Wertheim on an enchanted journey to explore the sources of this fascinating movement language and elements from the repertoire of the Vertigo Dance Company.
