Italy and Palestine

Living shadows between Jerusalem, Birzeit and Ramallah.

An exchange realized between

Accademia Nazionale di Danza e Birzeit University con le Istituzioni associate Edward Said National Conservatory of Music e Palestinian Circus School, ma anche Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance

In the fall of 2025, a Jubilee year but also a year of war, the National Dance Academy welcomed three students from Birzeit and Ramallah. Thanks to the mobility program designed by JERUS-IT-ARTS, three full scholarships allowed them to stay in Rome, study at the Academy, and participate in scheduled performance activities. The students were constantly supported by dedicated tutors and two incoming teachers from the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, who led masterclasses for both students and faculty, attended rehearsals, took lessons, studied, and collaborated on the project's choreographic creations.
