This panel features organizations who focus on strengthening young Jewish engagement while also creating a thriving community on the path to success.

Panelists Lily Behboodi of NowGen, Jakob Khazanovich of Moishe House Phoenix, and Cory Shapiro of Schmooze. Facilitated by Bryce Schotz of the Young Adult Leadership Council.

CREATING A WORK OF JEWISH ART: PERFORMANCE @ Tucson JCC
Dec 13 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to create your art for the big stage?  Would you like to come together with other creative spirits and produce a work of Jewish Art?

Just imagine collaborating to create a theme where you contribute both your art: musician, writer, visual artist or dancer, etc., as a ‘solo’ journey, and as a fusion of all the arts combined, culminating in a momentous, performance.

If you want to bring your art to the next level, this is the class for you!  Note:  Some of you may not want to perform, but may choose to create work, performed by others, in your group.  This is perfectly acceptable!

Instructor:  Debra Levasseur-Lottman/Presenter, Choreographer-Performer/Dance Educator B.A., Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago &  MFA, In Studio, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
