Surrounded by small piles of dark sweaters and jackets, 21 Chapman University student dancers swirl around the floor at the Partridge Dance Center. Despite their closeness, the dancers avoid each other\u2019s touch and stick to their contained spheres of motion. Several times they lift cupped hands to their eyes, creating singular tunnel visions.<\/p>\n

This collection of solos is dramatic, lonely and exactly what internationally recognized Israeli choreographer and ballet artist Ido Tadmor hoped to convey in \u201cZ-Ra,\u201d an original work he choreographed for Chapman’s\u00a0Fall Dance Concert to be performed Friday and Saturday, Dec. 2-3<\/a>, in Musco Center for the Arts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to create a piece about this time, this society we live in at the moment,\u201d Tadmor said following a recent rehearsal of the piece. \u201cIn many, many ways it\u2019s a very sad time where people are completely disconnected from each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Artist in Residence Ido Tadmor and students gather for a rehearsal of the original dance piece he choreographed for Chapman, \u201cZ-Ra.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There is a happy contradiction of sorts in all that, though. Teamwork and shared learning were the hallmarks of Tadmor\u2019s three-week residency with students in the Department of Dance<\/a>. As Tadmor\u2019s residency wound down, the students and the renowned choreographer described their time together as an unparalleled experience of teamwork.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been honored to teach in many, many universities. But I have to say that for me I don\u2019t think that I\u2019ve ever had such an amazing, fulfilling, challenging (and) beautiful time as I did with these guys and at this university,\u201d Tadmor said. \u201cThey also manage to work very calmly in a group, listening and feeling with each other in one energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ido Tadmor<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In Israel, Tadmor is one of his native country\u2019s most celebrated artists, winning its Landau Prize for life achievement in the arts and serving as a judge on the television program Born to Dance<\/em>, similar to the American hit So You Think You Can Dance?<\/em> His visit to Chapman was helped by a connection made with Jennifer Backhaus \u201994, an instructor in the College of Performing Arts\u2019 Department of Dance and the founder and artistic director of Backhausdance.<\/p>\n

The former member of Batsheva Dance Company had particular praise for the students\u2019 skills and dedication.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey bring not 100 percent but a million percent of themselves into the piece. And this is not something I see in many places, not even in professional companies,\u201d Tadmor said.<\/p>\n

The experience was intense but rewarding, says dance major Ashleigh Koenig, of Olathe, Kan. The dance is divided into two halves, and at the middle point Koenig steps forward to sing Amazing Grace<\/em>in what feels like a moment of hopefulness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he first asked me to do it, it was just on the spot and I was caught off guard,\u201d Koenig says. \u201cBut I learned a lot in these past weeks. More than I could have imagined. And not once was I ever comfortable. \u2026 So it was a very interesting experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dance major Elijah Richardson, of San Jose, CA, said performing in the innovative piece pushed his skills to a new level.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou had to be able to be open and ready to absorb any possibility,\u201d Richardson said.<\/p>\n

Tadmor acknowledged that the theme of this piece might seem relevant to the 2016 presidential election, which he confessed fascinated him during his visit. But he said he worked out a portion of the choreography two years ago. At Chapman, he saw the opportunity to fully develop it, but he believes the theme would resonate anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to tell you that if I presented it anywhere else in the world, I wouldn\u2019t change it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
