We are thrilled to share with you the progress of our community outreach - healing work with dance and the way it’s informing the new creation of 2024. We are dedicated to making a positive impact on peoples hearts and inspire with hope and pure human connection!

Your support means the world to us!

Every amount of donation in this phase helps the company in covering rehearsal costs and the production process of the new piece AYAH.

Ayah (آية) is the title of the new work in progress for our new journey in FJK Dance Season 2024, it means "falcon" or "vulture" in Hebrew. In the Bible, this is the name of the father of Rizpah as well as the son of Zibeon. In Arabic it literally means "miracle" or "a sign from God". In the Quran (Islamic holy book), a verse is called an Ayah. This new work reflects on the healing impact of the performing art experience, taking inspiration from ancient ceremonial practice where musical rhythm and heartbeat connect with the breath. We will present the choreographic work integrated with live painting to music by the composer Jan Paul Werge, and exhibit samples of the costume design and other visual elements in the production.
