"A Jewish Child's Story- The Roses on my Wallpaper - A Dream" and "Yellow Star"

 

 

You may be more familiar with our company with "The Tennis Dances" reviewed as one of the best works ever created in Los Angeles, "The Patchwork Girl of Oz", a joyous work for families based on the wonderful book by L. Frank Baum, creator of "The Wizard of Oz", or "Tap-Dance Widows Club", reviewed as "a transformational work, both hilarious and moving".

 

Now comes another intriguing story that EMPOWERS and ENTERTAINS.

 

"A Jewish Child's Story" is an autobiographical dance multimedia work of early dreams from a granddaughter of Jewish immigrants. It has archetypal and personal characters from the 40's, including Wonder Woman, K'ton ton, and a ballerina, and biblical figures from my own and other cultures including Rebekah at the Well, and Miriam with her cradle holding Moses. It is particularly relevant today with the immigration focus. Part II, "Yellow Star", deals with research on the Holocaust about relatives never known. The work, created and written by Louise Reichlin (me), is winner of the Bruce Geller Memorial Prize.
